These are the ones I have:
- All Shook Up
A-well-a, bless my soul; what's wrong with me? I'm itching like a man on a
fuzzy tree, my friends say I'm actin' queer as a bug, I'm in love, I'm all
shook up' Mm mm, oh oh yeah yeahl
My hands are shaky and my knees are weak, I can't seem to stand on my own
two feet, who do you thank when you have such luck? I'm in love, I'm all
shook up; Mm mm, oh oh yeah yeah'
Please don't ask what is on my mind, I'm a little mixed up but I'm feelin'
fine,
When I'm near that girl that I love best
my heart beats so it scares me to deaths
She touched my hand what a chill I got, her kisses are like a volcano
that's hot! I'm proud to say she's my bitter cup, I'm in love! I'm all
shook up! mm, oh oh, yeah yeah
my tongue gets tied when I try to speak, my insides shake like a leaf on a
tree. There's only one cure for this soul of mine, that's to have the girl
that I love so fine
- ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT?
Tonight I m down-hearted, for though we have parted,
I love you and I always will and while I'm so lonely I'm
writing you only, to see if you care for me still
Are you lonesome tonight , do you miss me tonight are you sorry we drifted
apart? Does your memory stray to a bright summer day, when I kissed you
and called you 'sweetheart'. Do the chairs in your parlour seem empty and
bare, do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there? Is your heart
filled with pain? Shall I come back again? Tell me dear, are you lonesome
tonight?
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know, someone said' "The world's a stage, and each must play a part".
Fate had me playing 'in love' with you as my sweetheart, act one was
here when we met I loved you at first glance. You read your lines
socleverly and never missed a cue, then came act two.
You seemed to change, you acted strange, and why?
I'll never know.
Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you
but I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than to go on living without you.
Now the stage is bare
And I'm standing there with emptiness all around.
And if you won't come back to me,
Then they can ring the curtain down.
I hold, with affection a fond recollection
a romance of days now gone by
and often I wonder if I made a
blunder by letting you bid me 'good-bye'
- Blue Suede Shoes
Well' it's one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready,
now go cat, go -But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes
well you can knock me down, step in my face
slander my name all over the place.
Do anything that you want to do but uh uh, honey, lay off of my shoes,
don't you step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes
well you can burn my house, steal my car, drink my
cider from my old fruit jar
- Dixieland Rock
Well down in New Orleans at the Golden Goose,
grabbed a green-eyed dolly that was on the loose.
Well, I dig that music, she said, "Me too", so I
said, "Pretty baby, come on, let's do". The
dixieland rock, oh the dixieland rock, let your
hair down, sugar, shake it free, and do the
dixieland rock with me.
Now, with the blue lights shinin' on her swingin' hips,
got the drum so nervous that he lost his sticks. Then
the cornetplayer hit a note that's flat, 'cause the
trombone hit him where the poor cat sat.
Now, I was all pooped out when the clock struck four,
but she said, "No, daddy, can't leave the floor". She
wore a clingin' dress that fit so tight, she couldn't
sit down so we danced all night.
- Don't Be Cruel
You know I can be found sitting home all alone,
if you can't come around, at least, please telephone.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
Baby, if I made you mad for something I might have said,
please, let's forget the past, the future looks bright ahead.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love, baby, it's just you I'm thinking of.
Don't stop thinking of me, don't make me feel this way,
come on over here and love me, you know what I want you to say.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
why should we be apart? I really love you, baby, cross my heart.
Let's walk up to the preacher, and let us say, 'I do:'.
Then you'll know you have me, and I'll know I'll have you too.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love, baby, it's just you I'm thinking of.
- Heartbreak Hotel
Since my baby left me found a new place to dwell, down at the end of
Lonely Street at Heartbreak Hotel.
I get so lonely, baby, I get so lonely I get so lonely I could die.
Although it's always crowded, still can find some room, where those broken
hearted lovers cry away their gloom,
Bellhop's tears keep flowing, desk clerks dressed in black They been so
long on Lonely Street they ain't never gonna come back, oh
If your baby leaves you and you have a tale to tell, just take a walk down
Lonely Street to Heartbreak Hotel.
- Hound Dog
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog; cryin' all the time. You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog cryin' all the time. Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
and you ain't no friend of mine.
When they said you was high-classed, well that was just a lie.
When they said you was high-classed, well that was just a lie.
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine.
- In The Ghetto
As the snow flies on a cold and gray Chicago mornin', a poor little baby
child is born
in the ghetto. And his mama cries 'cause if there's one thing she doesn't
need it's
another hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto.
People, don't you understand, the child needs a helping hand, or he'll
grow to be
an angry young man someday. Take a look at you and me, are we too blind to
see, or do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?
Well, the world turns and a hungry little boy with the runny nose plays in
the street as the
cold wind blows in the ghetto. And his hunger burns and he starts to roam
the streets at
night and he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto.
And then one night, in desperation, a young man breaks away, he buys a
gun, steals a
car, tries to run but he don't get far. And his mama cries, as a crowd
gathers 'round an
angry young man, face down in the street with a gun in his hand in the
ghetto
And as her young man dies, on a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
another little baby is born in the Ghetto
- Jailhouse Rock
The warden threw a party in the county jail, the prison band was there
and they began to wail. The band was jumpin', and the joint began to
swing You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
Let's rock, let's rock'. Everybody in the whole
cell block was a dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone, little Joe was blowin' on
the slide trombone. The drummer boy from Illinois went crash boom'
bang! The whole rhythm section was the purple gang
Number Forty-seven said to number Three,
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me"
The sad sack was a-sittin' on a block of stone, way over in the
corner weeping all alone. The warden said "Hey buddy, don't you be
no square, if you can't find a partner, use a wooden chair"
Shifty Henry said to Bugs: "For heaven's sake, no one's lookin', now's
our chance to make a break" Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said:
"Nix, nix, I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks"
- King Creole
There's a man in New Orleans who plays rock and roll,
he's a guitar man with a great big soul. He lays down
a beat like a ton of coal, he goes by the name of
King Creole.
You know he's gone gone, gone,
jumpin' like a catfish on a
pole You know he's gone gone,
gone, hip-shaking King Creole.
When the king starts to do it, it's as good as done,
he holds his guitar like a tommy gun. He starts to
growl from 'way down in his throat, he bends a
string and "that's all she wrote".
Well, he sings a song about a crawdad hole,
he sings a song about a jelly roll. He
sings a song about meat and greens, he
wails some blues about New Orleans.
Well, he plays something evil then he plays something sweet,
no matter what he plays you got to get up on your feet. When
he gets the rockin' fever, baby' heaven sakes, he don't stop
playin' till the guitar breaks.
- Mean Woman Blues
I got a woman mean as she can be,
I got a woman mean as she can be.
Sometimes I think she's almost mean as me.
A black cat up and died of fright,
'Cause she crossed his path last night, oh.
She kiss so hard she bruise my lips,
Hurts so good my heart just flips, oh.
The strangest gal I ever had;
never happy 'less she's mad, oh.
She makes love without a smile,
ooh, hot dog, that drives me wild, oh.
- My Baby Left Me
Yes, my baby left me, never said a word.
Was it something I done, something that she
heard? My baby left me, my baby left, my baby
even left me, never said a word.
Now, I stand at my window, wring my hands and
cry. I hate to lose that woman, hate to say
goodbye. You know she left me, yes' she left me;
my baby even left me, never said a word.
Baby, one of these mornings, Lord, it won't be long,
you'11 look for me and, baby, and daddy he'll be
gone. You know you left me, you know you left me, my
baby even left me, never said goodbye.
Now, I stand at my window, wring my hands and
moan, all I know is that the one I love is gone.
My baby left me, you know she left me, my baby
even left me, never said a word.
- Mystery Train
Train I ride sixteen coaches long, train I ride
sixteen coaches long. Well, that long black
train got my baby and gone.
Train, train, coming 'round 'round the bend, train, train,
coming 'round 'round the bend. Well, it took my baby, well, it
never will again, no not again.
Train, train, coming down the line. train, train,
coming down the line. Well, it's bringing my baby
'cause she's mine, all mine.
- One Night
One night with you is what I'm now praying for The things that we two
could plan would make my dreams come true
Just call my name and I'll be right by your side I want your sweet
helping hand my love's too strong to hide
Always lived a very quiet life, I ain't never
did no wrong
Now I know that life without you has been too lonely too long.
- Suspicious Minds
We're caught in a trap I can't walk out because I love
you too much, baby. Why can't you see what you're
doing to me, when you don't believe a word I say?
We can't go on together with suspicious minds, and we can't
build our dreams on suspicious minds
So, if an old friend I know drops by to say hello, would I still see
suspicion in your eyes? Here we go again asking where I've been,
you can't see these tears are real I'm crying.
oh let our love survive or dry the tears from your eyes,
let's don't let a good thing die,
when honey, you know I've never lied to you; mmm, yeah, yeah!
- That's Alright
Well; that's all right, mama, that's all right for
you. That's all right, mama, just any way you do.
That's all right, that's all right,
that's all right, mama, any way you do.
My mama' she done told me, papa done told me too.
Son, that gal you're foolin' with, she ain't no good for you,
....but
I'm leavin' town tomorrow, leavin' town for sure, then you
won't be bothered with me hangin' 'round your door
....But
I oughta mind my papa, guess I'm not too smart.
If I was I'd leave you, go before you break my heart
But ...
- Trouble
If you're lookin' for trouble, you came to the right place.
If you're lookin' for trouble, just look right in my face.
I was born standing up and talking back.
My daddy was a greeneyed mountain jack;
And I'm evil, my middle name is misery.
Yes, I'm evil, so don't mess around with me.
I never looked for trouble but I never ran. I don't take no
orders from no kind of man. I'm only made out of flesh, blood
and bone, but if you're gonna start a rumble, don't you try it
all alone, 'cause I'm evil, my middle name is misery. Yes, I'm
evil, so don't mess around with me!
- Viva Las Vegas
Bright light city gonna set my soul, gonna set my soul on fire,
got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn so get those stakes up
higher.
There's a thousand pretty women waitin' out there,
and they're all living', devil may care
and I'm just the devil with love to spare.
Viva Las Vegas, viva Las Vegas
How I wish that there were more than the twenty-four hours in the day,
'cause even if there were forty more I wouldn't sleep a minute away.
Oh! There's black jack and poker and the roulette wheel,
a fortune won and lost on every deal;
all you need is a strong heart and a nerve of steel.
Viva Las Vegas, viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas with your neon flashin'
and your one arm crashin' all those hopes down the drain.
Viva Las Vegas turnin' day into nighttime, turnin' night into daytime,
if you see it once you'll never be the same again.
I'm gonna keep on the run, I'm gonna have me some fun
if it costs me my very last dime if I wind up broke,
well, I'll always remember that I had a swingin' time.
I'm gonna give it everything I've got,
lady luck, please let the dice stay hot,
let me shout a seven with every shot
Viva Las Vegas, viva Las Vegas
Enjoy them

Not a huge Elvis fan but here are the lyrics to "In the Ghetto".
As the snow flies...
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born in
the ghetto.
And his mama cries
Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight
In the ghetto
Then one night in desperation the young breaks away
He buys a gun
Steals a car
Tries to run
But he don't get far
In the ghetto
As her young man dies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
Another little baby child is born in
the ghetto
And his mama cries.
Hope this helps!
