Halfway there with no sweat in sight
He swung again and knocked them down with all of his might
7, 8, 9 without a problem
The room grew silent as he came upon ten

Stepped on up with an arrow in sight
From the middle 1, 2, 3 to the right
Out for the hand shake, up for the call
Watch and see those rednecks fall

Who is he?
King of Polyester
Who is he?
King of Polyester
Who is he?
King of Polyester
What does he do?

Two down with one to go
If he gets the last one it will quite a show
His arm swung forward as he let it go
The air was shattered by the force of the throw

Down the alley with his perfect hook
He hit them so hard the whole room shook
people cheered as they hit the ground
Their ears were deafened by the crushing sound

Waved to the people as he picked up his bag
Grabbed his cigar and his black silk rag
Up two steps and to the right
Out the door be back tomorrow night

Who is he?
King of Polyester
Who is he?
King of Polyester
Who is he?
King of Polyester
What does he do?Lyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

King of Polyester Lyrics

Pulled up as he parked the car
Then he took his feet and walked right up to the door
Went inside looking slick as snot
With his smile so suave that the women all dropped

Bag in hand with his hammer inside it
Shoes so shiny with his Cuban cigar lit
Down two steps and to the right
Lucky ten was his number tonight

Stepped on up with an arrow in sight
From the middle 1, 2, 3 to the right
Out for the hand shake, up for the call
Watch and see those rednecks fall

Who is he?
King of Polyester
Who is he?
King of Polyester
Who is he?
King of Polyester
What does he do?

One after another he watched them fall
His mighty hook was way to much for them all
The people cheered as they swept them away
He turned around and said "well what can I say?"

Halfway there with no sweat in sight
He swung again and knocked them down with all of his might
7, 8, 9 without a problem
The room grew silent as he came upon ten

Stepped on up with an arrow in sight
From the middle 1, 2, 3 to the right
Out for the hand shake, up for the call
Watch and see those rednecks fall

Who is he?
King of Polyester
Who is he?
King of Polyester
Who is he?
King of Polyester
What does he do?

Two down with one to go
If he gets the last one it will quite a show
His arm swung forward as he let it go
The air was shattered by the force of the throw

Down the alley with his perfect hook
He hit them so hard the whole room shook
people cheered as they hit the ground
Their ears were deafened by the crushing sound

Waved to the people as he picked up his bag
Grabbed his cigar and his black silk rag
Up two steps and to the right
Out the door be back tomorrow night

Who is he?
King of Polyester
Who is he?
King of Polyester
Who is he?
King of Polyester
What does he do?

The W's were a Christian ska/swing band, formed in Corvallis, Oregon in 1997. Within a year, they had signed with Five Minute Walk. Success came quickly as they toured with bands such as dc Talk on their "Supernatural" tour. Within a year they had produced their first album, Fourth From the Last. The immediate success of this album put it at #4 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. Their song "The Devil Is Bad" became their greatest hit.

The bands other hit song, "The Rumor Weed Song" was made for the children’s video series VeggieTales (episode: "Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed"). It was included as a hidden track on their second album Trouble With X.

This band's downfall came as quickly as its success had. Their final release, Trouble With X, came at the end of the Swing Revival movement. Swing music was losing its mass appeal, and The W's were caught in the mass exodus from the genre.

A third album had been planned but was never released. However, one song "Somewhere Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea" was released on the compilation Take Time To Listen volume 5.0 by Five Minute Walk. The song shows that the band was changing its sound toward rockabilly, but retaining the horn section.
