I remember when Elvis died

you all laid down and prayed and cried

every empire needs a king

I'm good looking and boy can I sing



he'll roll over in his grave

because of me, Rock 'n' Roll is saved

I'm so great and I'm so cool

I am the king and the rebels rule



it's me, myself, I am king

I am the king of Rock 'n' Roll

me, myself, I am king

I am the king of Rock 'n' Roll

the king is back and it's me

what more is there I can see

your lord and king is here to stay



where ordinary rock and roll act

we're not egotistic, just stating fact

think how many dreams came true

you waited many years, didn't you?

If you was not for your masters' *

you'd still be wandering in the *



it's me, myself, I am king

I am the king of Rock 'n' Roll

me, myself, I am king

I am the king of Rock 'n' Roll

the king is back and it's me
