(Lyrics)

Return to sender
Return to sender

I gave a letter to the postman,
He put it in his sack.
Bright and early next morning,
He brought my letter back.

She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
We had a quarrel, a lover's spat
I write I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming back.

So then I dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it special D.
Bright and early next morning
It came right back to me.

She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such person, no such zone.

This time I'm gonna take it myself
And put it right in her hand.
And if it comes back the very next day
Then I'll understand

The writing on itReturn to sender, address unknown.

No such number, no such zone.

Return to sender.
Return to sender.
Return to sender.
Return to sender.

Jailhouse rock - Elvis Presley (1957) with lyrics

From the movie "Jailhouse rock", 1957.



(Lyrics)

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, 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

The sad sack was a 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 Bugsy, 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 

Too much - Elvis Presley (1957 live) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Well, honey, I love you
Too much
I need your loving
Too much

I want the thrill of
Your touch
Gee, I can't hold you
Too much

Now you've got me living
Don't you leave me broken hearted
'Cause I love you
Too much

Every time I kiss your
Sweet lips
I can feel my heart go a
Flip-flip

I'm such a fool for
Your charms
Take me back, baby
In your arms

Now you've got me started
Don't you leave me broken hearted
Beause I love you
Too much

I need your loving
All the time
Need your hugging
Meeting mine

Need you near me
Stay real close
Please, please hear me
You're the most

Like to hear you sighing
Even though I know you're lying
'Cause I love you
Too much

(Instrumental)

Every time I kiss your
Sweet lips
I can feel my heart go
Flip-flip

I'm such a fool for
Your charms
Take me back, baby
In your arms

Now you've got me started
You even know I know you're lying
'Cause I love you
Too much

I need your loving
All the time
I need your hugging
Meeting mine

Please, please hear me
Stay real close
You know that you are
You're the most

Now you've got me started
Don't you leave me broken hearted
Because I love you
Too much

Elvis sang these songs on his first appearance of three on the "Ed Sullivan Show on September 9, 1956. Sullivan could not host the show as he was recuperating in hospital from a recent car accident. Noted british actor Charles Laughton stood in for Ed.


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'll have me
And I'll 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 just 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 just you I'm thinking of


Love me tender

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,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
And I always will.

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 fulfilled.
For my darlin' 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 fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
And I always will.

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

You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

Swing the mood - Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers (with lyrics)

Come on everybody
C-C-Come on everybody!

One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock rock
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock rock
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
Put your glad rags on,join me hon
We're gonna have some fun when the clock strikes one
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock rock rock until the broad daylight
We're gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight

R-R-Rock, rock, rock everybody
Roll, roll, roll everybody
Rock, rock, rock everybody
Roll, roll, roll everybody
Rock, rock, rock everybody
Rock-a-beatin' boogie beat

Wop w-wop w-wop bop a loo bop a w-wop bop a loo bop 

a w-wop bop a loo bop a lop bam bam
W-w-w-w-wake up, little Suzie, wake up
Wake up, little Suzie, wake up
We've both been sound asleep
Wake up little Suzie and weep
The movie's over it's four o'clock
And we're in trouble deep
Wake up little Suzie
Wake up little Suzie
We gotta go home

You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

Shake-shake-shake-shake, rattle and roll
Come on shake, rattle and roll
You gotta shake, rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll

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 acting
Wild as a bug
I'm in love
I'm all shook up

The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumping 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 dancing to the Jailhouse Rock

A-ah-ah-ah
A-ah-ah-ah
A-ah-ah-ah
A-ah-ah-ah
At the hop, hop, hop-hop-hop
Wop w-wop w-wop bop a loo bop a w-wop bop a loo bop

 a w-wop bop a loo bop a lop bam bam...
