Before he was king, he was a TV repair man Fixing radios with a knife and a beer can Started playing with the circuitry Making music with a box fan Now he's building his collection Setting up on the hot sand (chorus) Let the records start playin Anybody wanna hear that sound Verberate and delayin' Everyone loves the sound that he found When the king's at the table There's nothing he's unable to do Like a baby in a cradle I'll rock so steady for you People became jealous of the king Tried to incapacitate, discontinue his reign Things changed when they found he was indestructible Head full of ideas that the rest would never know With the dawning of a new age, on a new page, is where he found the new thing Synthesized and coming from the soul Something truly and unmistakeably original (chorus)
