Don't tell me nothing
No lies, woman
Cause all you know I've told
Don't sell me no alibis, sister
Cause all you've got I've sold

You better leave
At midnight slinking
To the one who works it out
I don't want to hear no
Back talk speaking
Go on and shut your mouth

And everything is
Gonna work out tight
If you act like you been told
So don't try to lay no boogie woogie
On the king of rock and roll

Don't feed me no TV dinners
When you know that
I'm used to steak
I don't need no rank beginners
When it's time to shake that shake

You better pull your thing together
Reach in and bust it out
And if you feel that
Your ass can't dig it
Then I guess you know the route

It ain't a matter of par convenience
That's gonna justify your soul
Just don't try to lay no boogie woogie
On the king of rock and roll

Rock and roll

Just don't try to lay no boogie woogie
On the king of rock and roll

You and I started to drive
So don't pull nothing on me
You didn't arrive til late '45
But your head's in '53

You got what it takes
To keep the heads a-spinning
Down by the lonely shack
But you come on just
Like a fool grinning
In the back of a red Cadillac

You can't come
Across the Upsalquitch
Until you pay the toll
So don't try to lay no boogie woogie
On the king of rock and roll

Don't try to lay no boogie woogie
Don't try to lay no boogie woogie
Don't try to lay no boogie woogie
Don't try to lay no boogie woogie
