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
