— spoken:
“thank you very much ladies and gentlemen. i’d like to do this next song especially for you. and for the king.”
well…
i walk up to the mike and and then i shake my hips
i take a deep breath and put a snare on my lips
see me on the street you wouldn’t know my name
but imitating elvis is my claim to fame
so when you put my imitation name in lights
there’ll be imitation good rockin’ tonight
’cause i’m an an elvis imitator and i just can’t stop
imitating elvis from the bottom to the top
imitate the way he talked, the way he smiled
i throw away my scarf and make the crowd go wild
this imitation elvis may not be the king
but baby i’m the next best thing
singing viva las vegas and the g.i. blues
won’t you love me tender in my blue suede shoes
well let me be your teddy bear, if you must
oh baby please surrender, ’cause i need your touch
well if you feelin’ lonely, need a place to dwell
come on down to imitation heartbreak hotel
chorus:
we’re gonna rock (rock rock rock)
ooooh we’re gonna rock (rock rock rock)
ooooh we’re gonna rock (rock rock rock)
ooooh we’re gonna rock (rock rock rock)
yeah my gold lamee cape and my sequined suit
pompadou haircut and my high-heeled boots
imitating elvis is the only way
i can make it through my imitation day
i know this rocking music can’t be denied
’cause i was imitating him before he died
well i’m an an elvis imitator and i just can’t stop
imitating elvis from the bottom to the top
i imitate the way he walked, the way he smiled
i throw away my scarf and make the crowd go wild
this imitation elvis may not be the king
but baby i’m the next best thing
chorus:
yeah rock (rock rock rock)
ooooh we’re gonna rock (rock rock rock)
ooooh we’re gonna rock (rock rock rock)
ooooh we’re gonna rock (rock rock rock)
well baby … it’s the next … best thing
— spoken:
thank you very much ladies and gentlemen
viva las vegas
viva las vegas
