Lyrics
HARD NOT TO TALK LIKE ELVIS
Well I suppose you could say that I?m your regular guy
With your regular two left feet
We were out at a party on a Saturday night
And I just couldn?t find the beat
My baby was out there cutting a rug
And I was just getting depressed
When all of a sudden something entered my soul
And I became a man possessed
It got easy to dig the music
It got easy to find the groove
It got easy to meet the back of the beat
And get my feet to move
It got easy to bop with my baby and oh that girl can swing
So it?s hard not to talk like Elvis
Cuz I?m a feelin like a king
Well pretty darn soon every kinda tune
Just fit me like a glove
So I glided on over to my baby and said ?Hey honey, I?m a hunka burnin love?
She said ? Alright now darlin-you wanna talk like him that?s fine ?
But if you start wearing those ugly white suits
I?m gonna kick you where the sun don?t shine!?
It got easy etc
So I don?t have an explanation
It must have been a cosmic plan
Or did somebody say ?Hey that fella?s OK . Let?s make him a dancing man?
Whoever you are that did this
I hope that you stay in touch
And if you?re hearin me now I just wanna say -Thank you very much
It got easy etc.
