Turcotte - Old King Cole

I just drove into Austin about quarter to four
Unpacking my bags and there was a knocking at the door
I looked out the window to see who it might be
And there was fifteen angry women and they was all coming after me
Well don't you know the emperor ain't got on clothes
And I guess you already knew Old King Cole, Old King Cole, man, he just flew

I stepped out for a coffee more like a whiskey maybe two
Minded my affairs was a blonde with eyes of blue
Checking out my finger she was looking for a ring
As long as she can dance she can always learn to sing
Well don't you know the emperor ain't got on clothes
And I guess you already knew Old King Cole, Old King Cole, man, he just flew

Well don't you know the emperor ain't got on clothes
And I guess you already knew Old King Cole, Old King Cole, man, he just flew

I just pulled out of Austin exactly ten forty-four
Newports on the dashboard and a six pack on the floor
Blueys in the mirror it's my fate they want to seal
Put the pedal to the metal hold on tight to the wheel
Well don't you know the emperor ain't got on clothes
And I guess you already knew Old King Cole, Old King Cole, man, he just flew
