"The Elvis Presley Express" lyrics

The Elvis Presley Express

Well I put my hound dog on your trail
Found you down at heartbreak hotel
But that's all right now mamma
Any way you do
Saw polk salad Annie
She was shaking her fanny
You're right I'm left she's gone
But I'm warning you man
Lay off my blue suede shoes

Whoa-ho baby baby
Let's play house
And forget it
And don't be cruel
To your guitar man
Honey love me
Tender forever
But I'm gonna take you
To that promised land

Well I'm all shook up
And I can't stop
Gonna do a little bit
Of the jailhouse rock
The mystery train done jumped
The tracks again
So honey let's go our seperate ways
Blue Hawaii I'm here to stay
There's a whole lotta shaking
Going on again

Well I'm a steamroller baby
Gonna rip it on up
I done told you once
That I'm all shook up
And this burning love
Has got the best of me
Well it's now or never
Sweetheat I know
That living ain't easy
Down in the ghetto
You're a hard heaeded woman
Trying to get to me

Well I got a woman way across town
You know it
She lives up yonder
On Blueberry hill
But have I told you lately
That I love you
But I love my teddy bear
But she ain't real

Well I'm all shook up
And I can't stop
Gonna a little more
Of the jailhouse rock
The mystery train done jumped
The tracks again

Well it's now or never
Sweetheat I know
That living ain't easy
Down in the ghetto
There's a whole lotta shaking
Going on again
Well I can't help
Falling in love with you
