Story Behind The Song
The idea came to me about a party with an Elvis theme. As I researched it turned out that titles to Elvis' songs seem to fit together into the song. All just for fun!

Lyrics
Elvis Birthday Party
Verse 1
Had a Mess of Blues, All Shook Up
This Heartbreak Hotel World's so corrupt
Need a Good Luck Charm to beat my funk
That's when I got this eVite
Say we're having a party, hope you can come
We know the theme might sound kind of dumb
We'll have a live band, yes even drums
Celebrate the King, It All Happens One Night
Chorus
Playin' For Keeps, Doncha know?
It'll be too cool for school
It's an Elvis Birthday Party, C'mon Let's Go!
Verse 2
Put on your poodle skirts, and Blue Suede Shoes
We'll play Little Sister and Stuck On You
Jailhouse Rock and Don't Be Cruel
Then Love Me Tender when the time is right
Wear your gold lame' I got my ankle boots
There's fried banana sandwiches, I Beg of You
It's All Too Much, Don't Be A Hounddog too
It's Now or Never, Stay For The Night
Chorus
Bridge
Long Live the King, All Hail Rock N Roll
Viva Las Vegas, Rock-a-hula Baby
Let Me Be Your Teddy Bear, Suspicious Minds
Down To The Ghetto
It's an Elvis Birthday Party, C'mon Let's Go
Kentucky Rain, Its Now or Never, Suspicious Minds, Kissin' Cousins,
If I Can Dream, Return To Sender, Cryin' In The Chapel, I Gotta Know
Where There's Smoke, Rock-a-hula Baby, Devil In Disguise- ad libs
