about

A bit of a slow-burner from the mind of Mr. Lawlor, somewhere between blues and CCR perhaps, an ode to the fine ladies on the dance floor strutting their stuff.

lyrics

Hey Queenie
Can I be your King
All the Jokers in town
Love to watch you shake your thing

Last Saturday night
I know it so well
Saw you play backup at the Chisca Hotel
Hey Queenie, Can I be your King
All the Jokers in town, Love to watch you shake your thing

SOLO - Sax

Hey Queenie
Can I be your dime
I'll put my money where your mouth is
Call me anytime

Now I've been lost
Since you've been gone
I'm thinking while I'm drinkin' it's been too damn long
Hey Queenie,
Can I be your King
All the Jokers in town, Love to watch you shake your thing

SOLO

Hey Queenie
Can I be your King
All the Jokers in town
Love to watch you shake your thing

Doctor says son
Don't you understand
Woman like that will be the death of all men
Hey Queenie, Can I be your King
All the Jokers in town, Love to watch you shake your thing
