Cledus the Karaoke King
Cledus T. Judd Lyrics

It's Thursday night down at Taco Mac
The setting of the scene is a crowded Taco Mac on a Thursday night

It's like a can of sardines the way the place is packed
The place is so packed that the crowd feels like a can of sardines

They're piled in here for just one thing
The crowd is there for only one reason

It ain't the beer battered greased soaked onion rings
The crowd is not there for the restaurant's greasy onion rings

To hear (Cledus) the karaoke king
The crowd is there to hear Cledus, the karaoke king

Well I'm the biggest star that ever hit this town
Cledus claims to be the biggest star in the town

Heck I'm known for at least a mile around
He claims to be known within at least a mile's radius

I'm a vocal chameleon after a couple of brews
Cledus claims to be able to mimic various singers after a few drinks

I sound like Vince, Garth, Terri Clarke, and Reba too
He claims to be able to sound like Vince Gill, Garth Brooks, Terri Clark, and Reba McEntire

When I sing I swear the girls come unwound
Cledus claims that girls go crazy when he performs

And my friends in low places always brings the house down
Cledus claims that his rendition of Friends in Low Places by Garth Brooks is always a crowd favorite

They all put down their beer and wings
The crowd stops eating and drinking to pay attention to Cledus

To hear (Cledus) the karaoke king
The crowd is there to hear Cledus, the karaoke king

I'm a part-time beautician
Cledus works as a beautician part-time

A wannabe musician
Cledus desires to be a professional musician

I was born with it in my blood
Cledus believes that music is in his genes

I'm a mover and a shaker
Cledus claims to be influential and a go-getter

A request taker
Cledus takes song requests from the crowd

And the president of my own fan club
Cledus is the president of his own fan club

I sign eight by tens for all my friends beats all you've ever seen
Cledus boasts about his autographed photos and how they are better than anyone else's

It won't be long until I get a record deal
Cledus believes he will soon be signing a recording contract

(It's Cledus) the karaoke king
The song emphasizes that Cledus is the karaoke king

I guess you'll wondering what I'm still doing round here
Cledus wonders why he is still performing at Taco Mac

Since I won the Kross French karaoke competition last year
Cledus boasts about winning a karaoke competition

I sang "He stopped loving her today"
Cledus sang a George Jones song in the competition

Just like George Jones and one of his gold-plated chrome tin microphones
Cledus compares himself to George Jones and his iconic microphone

Well the only time that I ever got booed
Cledus admits to having been booed before

Is when I busted a rap by the 2 Live Crew
The reason he got booed was when he performed a rap song by the 2 Live Crew group

The more you all drink the better I sing
Cledus believes that the drunker the crowd gets, the better his singing sounds

(It's Cledus) the karaoke king
The song emphasizes that Cledus is the karaoke king

I know every word to every song you've heard
Cledus knows the lyrics to every song

Cause they're printed right there on the screen
He knows the lyrics because they are displayed on a screen

I even stand on the bar and play air guitar
Cledus loves to act like a rockstar by playing imaginary guitar on top of the bar

(It's Cledus) the karaoke king
The song emphasizes that Cledus is the karaoke king

Some people call it karaoke I call it a summer tour
Cledus considers his karaoke performances to be like a summer tour

I'm Cledus the karaoke king
The song title is repeated as the closing line to further emphasize Cledus as the karaoke king
