Carl Perkins Wears The Crown

Lyrics: Michael Falzarano
Music: Michael Falzarano

Now you know Elvis, king of rock 'n' roll
And James Brown's the godfater of soul
And Bob Wills is the king of Texas swing
You talk about Chicago blues, Muddy Waters wears the ring
But when it comes to that rockabilly sound
Carl Perkins wears the crown

They say old Hank done it his way
And nobody sang them blues like Billie Holiday
They say that Jimi, well he could kiss the sky
Still no one's got the fire like Buddy Guy
But when it comes to that rockabilly sound
Carl Perkins wears the crown

Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and George Jones
Robertson, Woody Guthrie, the Beatles and the Stones
Garcia, Jerry-Lee and Professor Longhair
You look at the top of the greatest-ever list and they'll all be there
But when it comes to that rockabilly sound
Carl Perkins wears the crown
Carl Perkins wears the crown

I'm just sitting here wondering, would a matchbox hold my clothes (note 1)

Put your cat clothes on, let's go bopping the blues
You wear your pink pedal pushers, I wear my blue suede shoes
And we'll get gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Carl Perkins wears the crown
Carl Perkins wears the crown
