Everybody wants to be a star

everybody wants to be accepted by the mass

everybody wants to be raging fire

but their heat don't last



Everybody wanta peek into my dreams

they try to figure out if I'm just full of jive

everybody wanta ride in my limousine

but nobody wants to drive



chorus:

But I'm the king

I'm the king of groove

yes I'm the king

I'm the king of groove

he's the king of groove (I cant't lose)

(summon the royal brass)



Everybody want a piece of the pie

but they'll take a pass if it's a case of do or die

the greener syndrome is at hand

we'll kick the feline or come forth and take a stand



If you're wishing on a star

ooh I pray your wishes bring you to receive the call

the king of groove is going far

and in my kingdom there is room for all



chorus:

'cause I'm the king

I'm the king of groove

yes I'm the king

I'm the king of groove



bridge:

King of groove

I can't lose,

stand back and watch my moves

'cause I'm the king of groove

I'm the king yeah I'm the king

yeah IIII'm the king of groove



He's the king of groove

that's right



bridge:

Well, you've got your

this of that and your that of this

with the king of groove baby you can't miss

you got your Joan of Arc

and your house of wax

but with the king of groove

you'll be jammin' back



You got your Dukes of Hazzard and your Duke of Earl

and the queen of Sheba, she was one bad girl

Aretha Franklin, she's the queen of soul

but the king of groove

is in control



He's got the lord of lords

and the king of kings

he keeps the king of groove

doing his thing

you can't stop him

no matter what you do

'cause you're dealing with

the king of groove
