lyrics

Johny wanted something that he shouldn't aughta want
he was doin well and had a gal, but somethin did haunt
his eyes started wanderin', he was playin' with fire
On the night that he finally saw his heart's desire.

Chorus:
Now his teardrops fall like rain
But it don't mean a thing
'Cause it's starting to come down
The reign of the King.

Her name was Rochalinda and she had ambitions
and they started rubbin off on Johny's antsy condition.
He saw her in a nightclub where she liked to sing.
The beginning of the downfall of the Reign of the king.

Now his teardrops fall like rain
But it don't mean a thing
'Cause it's starting to come down
The reign of the King.

Johnny had to prove his love, and he knew what he would do
He'd make a move on the big man, Mr. Hefty LaRue
He thought he'd win his love by grabbin' that brass ring
But time was runnin' out on the Reign of the new King

He plugged big man LaRue like you'd plug up a drain
but laRue's jealous wife she started goin' insane
She put a slug in Johnny's head like it didn't mean a thing
He died in RochaLinda's arms...the end of the King

Now her teardrops fall like rain
But it don't mean a thing
'Cause it's starting to come down
The reign of the King.

The reign of the King

Old guys who should know better. The ones your parents warned you about. Allan Morgan and Tom Giarrosso head this version of BYD with Scott Mercer and Partick Montello, using rabid optimism that they'll be remembered for more than just all those Elvis Traffic interactives with DJ's around the USA. ... more
