Money honey, if you want to get along with me Money Honey

I forgot to remember to forget I forgot to remember to forget

1956: Elvis

All the stars will tell the story, of our love and all its glory, Let us make this night of magic, and make it a night of love Surrender

When we kiss my heart’s on fire, burning with a strange desire, And I know that every time I kiss you, that your heart’s on fire, too Surrender

I got a date and I won’t be late Pick her up in my ’88’ Shag it on down to the union hall When the music starts Jumpin’ I’ll have a ball Rip It Up

I’m gonna rip it up I’m gonna rock it up I’m gonna shake it up I’m gonna ball it up I’m gonna rip it up And ball tonight Rip It Up

If you ever go Darling, I’ll be oh so lonely I’ll be sad and blue Crying over you, dear only Love Me

1957: Loving You

Baby let me be Your loving Teddy Bear Put a chain around my neck And lead me anywhere Oh let me be Your teddy bear (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear

I don’t wanna to be a tiger Because tigers play too rough I don’t wanna be a lion Because lions are not the kind You love enough (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear

If I’m seen with someone new Don’t be blue, don’t you be blue I’ll be faithful, I’ll be true Loving You

Make me feel at home, if you really care, scratch my back and run your pretty fingers through my hair Treat Me Nice

I’ll have a Blue Christmas without you (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) I’ll be so blue just thinking about you Blue Christmas

You’ll be doin’ all right, with your Christmas of White, But I’ll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas Blue Christmas

Well the bear will be gentle And the wolves will be tame And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes (There’ll Be) Peace In The Valley

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray (There’ll Be) Peace In The Valley

1960: Elvis Is Back!

If you cry when you’re in love, it sure ain’t no disgrace A Mess Of Blues

When I first saw you with your smile so tender, my heart was captured, my soul surrendered It’s Now or Never

He said ‘Julie, baby, you’re my flame Thou giv-est fever when we kisseth Fever

Captain Smith and Pocahontas Had a very mad affair When her daddy tried to kill him She said ‘Daddy-o, don’t you dare He give me fever with his kisses Fever when he holds me tight Fever, I’m his misses Oh daddy, won’t you treat him right’ Fever

Oh it was a kiss oo-oo what a kiss It was it really was such a kiss Oh how she could kiss oh what a kiss It was it really was such a kiss Just the thought of her lips Such A Night

1960: G.I Blues

I don’t worry Whenever skies are gray above Got a pocketful of rainbows Got a heart full of love Pocketful Of Rainbows

Kiss me extra tender Hold me extra tight Cause I’m saving your sweetness For a lonely night, aye Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye Pocketful Of Rainbows

Treat me nice Treat me good Treat me like you really should Cause I’m not made of wood And I don’t have a wooden heart Wooden Heart

Muss i denn, muss i denn Zum Stadtele hinaus Stadtele hinaus Und du, mein Schatz, bleibst hier? Wooden Heart

There’s no strings upon this love of mine It was always you from the start Sei mir gut Sei mir gut Sei mir wie du wirklich sollst Wie du wirklich sollst Cause I don’t have a wooden heart Wooden Heart

But don’t you step on my blue suede shoes Well, you can do anything, but stay off of my blue suede shoes Blue Suede Shoes

You can burn my house, steal my car Drink my liquor from an old fruit jar Blue Suede Shoes

1961: Something for Everybody

When the evening shadows fall And you’re wondering who to call For a little company There’s always me There’s Always Me

I don’t seem to mind somehow Playing second fiddle now Someday you’ll want me, dear And when that day is here There’s Always Me

They say you found somebody new Whose love will always be true I don’t know what it is to be alone That’s why I dread to know you’re gone Judy

Oh, please come back I promise always to be true Oh, Judy, there’ll never be Anyone else, dear, but you Judy

Give me the right To hold you tonight The tears that I’ve cried over you Give me the right Give Me The Right

You can’t say no When I need you so I want you back in my arms Give me the right Give Me The Right

1961: Blue Hawaii

Wise men say only fools rush in But I can’t help falling in love with you Shall I stay? Would it be a sin? If I can’t help falling in love with you Can’t Help Falling in Love

Like a river flows Surely to the sea Darling, so it goes Some things are meant to be Take my hand Take my whole life too For I can’t help falling in love with you Can’t Help Falling in Love

Night and you And blue Hawaii The night is heavenly And you are heaven to me Blue Hawaii

Lovely you And blue Hawaii With all this loveliness There should be love Blue Hawaii

And when she starts to sway, I’ve gotta say She really moves the grass around Rock-A-Hula Baby

1962: Pot Luck

Kiss me quick, while we still have this feeling Hold me close and never let me go Cause tomorrows can be so uncertain Love can fly and leave just hurting Kiss me quick because I love you so Kiss Me Quick

Kiss me quick and make my heart go crazy Sigh that sigh and whisper oh so low Tell me that tonight will last forever Say that you will leave me never Kiss me quick because I love you so Kiss Me Quick

Every time you kiss me I’m still not certain that you love me Every time you hold me I’m still not certain that you care Though you keep on saying You really, really, really love me Do you speak the same words To someone else when I’m not there Suspicion

Suspicion torments my heart Suspicion keeps us apart Suspicion why torture me Suspicion

The way she held your hand The little things you planned Her memory is with you yet That’s someone you never forget That’s Someone You Never Forget

When she is far away You’ll think of her each day And you know she’ll wait for you That’s someone you never forget You Never Forget

1964: Roustabout

I’m just a roustabout Shifting from town to town No job can hold me down Roustabout

And even if a pretty girl, should catch my eye I’ll give her a quick “hello”, and a fast goodbye Roustabout

I went and bought myself a ticket And I sat down in the very first row They pulled the curtain But then when they turned the spotlight way down low Little Egypt came out a-struttin’ Wearing nothin’ but a button and a bow Little Egypt

Hail to thee old ivy league Poison ivy league The ra-ra boys are sitting round the table tonight The ra-ra boys have lots of plans in view They’re gonna have panty raids And make their own lemonade They’ll live it up just like the big boys do Poison Ivy League

Poison ivy league, boys in that ivy league Give me an itch, those sons of the rich That poison ivy league Poison Ivy League

1969: From Elvis in Memphis

The child needs a helping hand or he’ll grow up to be an angry young man some day In the Ghetto

As the snow flies On a cold and gray Chicago morning A poor little baby child is born In the ghetto And his mama cries In the Ghetto

People, don’t you understand A child needs a helping hand Or he’ll grow to be an angry young man some day In the Ghetto

I had to leave town for a little while You said, you’d be good while I’m gone But the look in your eye dun told me you told a lie I know there’s been some carrying on Wearin’ That Loved On Look

Baby, you’re wearing that loved on look Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop Baby, you’re wearing that loved on look Wearin’ That Loved On Look

1973: Aloha from Hawaii: Via Satellite

I feel my temperature rising Help me, I’m flaming, I must be a hundred and nine

Wise men say only fools rush in But I can’t help falling in love with you Shall I stay? Would it be a sin? If I can’t help falling in love with you Can’t Help Falling In Love With You

Like a river flows Surely to the sea Darling, so it goes Some things are meant to be Take my hand Take my whole life too For I can’t help falling in love with you Can’t Help Falling In Love With You

So hush little baby Don’t you cry You know your daddy’s bound to die But all my trials, Lord will soon be over An American Trilogy

You ain’t nothing but a hound dog Crying all the time You ain’t nothing but a hound dog Crying all the time Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit And you ain’t no friend of mine Hound Dog

When they said you was high classed Well, that was just a lie Hound Dog

You ain’t never caught a rabbit, And you ain’t no friend of mine Hound Dog

1975: Promised Land

I left my home in Norfolk Virginia California on my mind I straddled that Greyhound And rode into Raleigh And on across Caroline Promised Land

We had motor trouble that turn into a struggle Halfway across Alabama And that hound broke down and left us all stranded In downtown Birmingham Promised Land

When was the last time you kissed me And I don’t mean a touch now and then It’s been a long time since you felt like my woman Even longer since I felt like your man There’s a Honky Tonk Angel

So tell me if you think it’s over And I’ll leave it up to you how it ends Because if you don’t want the love I can give you Well, there’s a honky tonk angel who’ll take me back in There’s a Honky Tonk Angel

Lord, help me walk another mile, just one more mile I’m tired of walking all alone Lord, help me smile another smile, just one more smile You know I just can’t make it on my own Help Me

I never thought I needed help before I thought that I could get by, by myself But now I know I just can’t take it any more With a humble heart, on bended knee I’m begging You, please, help me Help Me

1976: From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee

I’m so hurt to think that you lied to me I’m hurt way down deep inside of me You said our love was true and we’ll never, never part Now you’ve got someone new and it breaks my heart Hurt

I’m hurt, much more than you’ll ever know Yes darling, I’m so hurt because I still love you so But even though you hurt me like nobody else could ever do I would never ever hurt you, oh you, not you Hurt

I hope I never ever love anyone this much again I can’t take it anymore I’ve been hurt before Never ever quite like this time Never Again

What will become of me when you’re no longer here? If I can’t stop loving you What am I to do? You’ll be free but where will I be? Never Again

In the twilight glow I see her Blue eyes crying in the rain When we kissed goodbye and parted I knew we’d never meet again Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain

Love is like a dying ember Only memories remain Through the ages I remember Blue eyes crying in the rain Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain

1977: Moody Blue

It’s not how much you have that makes people look up to you Pledging My Love

Oh, my love, my darling I’ve hungered for your touch, a long lonely time And time goes by, so slowly and time can do so much Are you, still mine? I need your love, I need your love Godspeed your love to me Unchained Melody

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea To the waiting arms of the sea Lonely rivers cry, wait for me, wait for me To the open arms, wait for me Unchained Melody

Oh, Moody blue Tell me am I gettin’ through I keep hanging’ on Try to learn the song But I never do Oh, Moody blue Tell me who I’m talking’ to You’re like the night and day And it’s hard to say Which one is you Moody Blue

You came when I was happy in your sunshine I grew to love you more each passing day Before too long I’d filled my world around you Yeah and I prayed you loved enough of me to stay If You Love Me (Let Me Know)

If you love me let me know If you don’t let me go I can’t take another minute of the day without you near If you love me let it be If you don’t set me free Take the chains away that keep me loving you If You Love Me (Let Me Know)
