Heartbreak Hotel
(Mae B. Axton/Tommy Durden/Elvis Presley)

Well, since my baby left
Well I found a new place to dwell
Well, it's down at the end of lonely street
At heartbreak hotel

Well, I'll be heartbreak is so lonely baby
Well, I'm so lonely
I'll be so lonely I could die

Although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom

I'll be so heartbreak is so lonely baby
It'll make you so lonely
Ah they're so lonely they could die

Now, the bellhop's tears keep flowin'
And the desk clerk's dressed in black
Well they been so long on lonely street
They'll never ever look back

It'll make you so
It'll make you so lonely baby
Well, they're so lonely
They're so lonely they could die

Hey now, if your baby leaves you
And you've got a tale to tell
Well just take a walk down lonely street
To heartbreak hotel

Where you will be
Heartbreak is so lonely, baby
Well, you will be lonely
You'll be so lonely you could die

Although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom

It'll make you so heartbreak is so lonely baby
Well, they're so lonely
They'll be so lonely they could die

Don't Be Cruel
(Otis Blackwell/Elvis Presley)

You know I can be found sittin' 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
Somethin' I might have said
Please forget my 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 still you I'm thinking of, mmm

Don't stop thinkin' of me
Don't make me feel this way
Come on, let me hear you 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'll have me
And I know that I'll have you
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
Baby it's still you I'm thinking of

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
Baby it's still you I'm thinking of

Love Me Tender
(Vera Matson/Elvis Presley)

Love me tender, love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so
Love me tender, love me true

For my darling I love you

Love me tender, love me long
Take me to your heart
For it's there that I belong
And we'll never part
Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darling I love you
And I always will

Love me tender, love me dear
Tell me you are mine
I'll be yours through all the years
Till the end of time
Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darling I love you
And I always will

All Shook Up
(Otis Blackwell/Elvis Presley)

A well'a bless my soul, what'sa wrong with me?
I'm itchin' like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm actin' wild as a bug
I'm in love - I'm all shook up
Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, yay

Well, my hands are shaky and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you think of when you have such luck?
I'm in love - I'm all shook up
Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, yay

Well, please don't ask me what'sa 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 death!

Well she touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano when it's hot
I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup
I'm in love - I'm all shook up
Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, yay

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 body of mine
That's to have that girl that I love so fine!

She touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup
I'm in love - I'm all shook up
Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, yay
Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay
I'm all shook up

(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear
(Lal Mann/Bernie Lowe)

Baby let me be your lovin' teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck and lead me anywhere
Oh let me be - oh let him be
Your teddy bear

I don't wanna be a tiger
'Cause tigers play too rough
I don't wanna be a lion
'Cause lions ain't the kind you love enough

Just wanna be your teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck and lead me anywhere
Oh let me be - oh let him be
Your teddy bear

Baby let me be around you every night
Run your fingers through my hair and cuddle me real tight
Oh let me be - oh let him be
Your teddy bear

I don't wanna be a tiger
'Cause tigers play too rough
I don't wanna be a lion
'Cause lions ain't the kind you love enough

Just wanna be your teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck and lead me anywhere
Oh let me be - oh let him be
Your teddy bear

Oh let me be - oh let him be
Your teddy bear
I just wanna be your teddy bear

Jailhouse Rock
(Jerry Leiber/Mike Stoller)

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 them knocked out jailbirds sing
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was 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
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock

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
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock

Sad sack was sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
The warden said, "hey, buddy, don't you be no square
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair"
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock

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
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock

Dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Dancin' to the jailhouse rock ...

Don't
(Jerry Leiber/Mike Stoller)

Don't, don't, that's what you say
Each time that I hold you this way
When I feel like this and I want to hold you
Baby, don't say don't

Don't, don't leave my embrace
For here in my arms is your place
When the night grows cold and I want to hold you
Baby, don't say don't

If you think that this is just a game
I'm playing
If you think that I don't mean
Ev'ry word I'm saying
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't feel that way
I'm your love and yours I will stay
This you can believe
I will never leave you
Heave knows I won't
Baby, don't say don't
