Lyrics

He went to Memphis/He became the king
He could drive a truck/And he could sing
He was all shook up/He was too too much
He was country boy/with a midas touch
But The king he died upon the throne
The king died on the throne all alone

The king partied hard/ partied all night long
He made love to the woman/he sang his song
He shook his hips/He wiggled his leg
He curled his lip/He made them beg
But the king died upon the throne
The king died on the throne all alone

Now the king he's gone, the queen's caught a plane
The princess she married a man who's insane
The king he's gone, the joker's still wild
Lord have mercy on the king's only child

Now pretenders they come/pretenders they go
They try to put on/the king's old time show
But there not him/their just playing a game
Trying to cash in on the king's lasting fame
But the king he died upon the throne
The king died on the throne all alone


The king is gone just like Johnny Rotten
The king is gone but he's not forgotten
His legend lives on/His story's still told
And everything he touches/Still turns to gold
But the king he died upon the throne
The king died on the throne all alone

Now the king he's gone, the queen's caught a plane
The princess she married a man who's insane
The king he's gone, the joker's still wild
Lord have mercy on the king's only child
