lyrics

KING OF THE ROSEMEAD BOOGIE
King of the Rosemead boogie
Hocked himself a loogie
Spit in the air
just like he didn't care
stood everywhere
With the saving stare
Cuz he knows
where all the days go

After the sun has set
and the heat ain't around
He pulls up his dress
And tugs his wig down
And give you a wink
and he shows you some pink
will you buy him a drink
Help him out of that mink

Two Jacksons and a toke
Some shatter and some coke
The Capacity of Dope
At the Highway Host
He's the King of the Rosemead Boogie
He's the king, it's a thing, he's the king


For a moment you finally feel alive
Pull the car down to the end of Raymond Drive


He's the king of the Rosemead boogie
Studied guitar with Shuggie
He takes a second hit
and it gives him a fit
And he knows he should quit
But you just can't fight the life
It ain't a wife
put away the knife
It's the righteous path to understanding
He's the King of the Rosemead Boogie
He's the king, it's a thing, he's the king
