One, two, three, four A cat has nine lives But man, you don't live twice You can play for a price With your granddaddy's dice If you wanna be the king You gotta go to Memphis in your mind It's a bad point of view If Pat Boone got through to you Well, I kissed Peggy Sue And you could have too Ain't that a shame You never went to Memphis in your mind There's no place cooler When you've got your Bop-A-Lula on (Mercy) Slip into your blue suede shoes We're dancing 'til the break of dawn Sun Records will be playing You'll know every word they're saying's true Heartbreak Hotel is taking reservations There's a room for you You can go to any town
Get up but not get down If you wanna hear that rocket sound You go to Memphis in your mind There's no place cooler When you've got your Bop-A-Lula on (Mercy) Slip into your blue suede shoes We're dancing 'til the break of dawn Sun Records will be playing You'll know every word they're saying's true Heartbreak Hotel is taking reservations There's a room for you You can have two left feet And you can still keep the beat If you're sixteen and sweet Or you can't leave your seat If you wanna meet the king You gotta go to Memphis in your mind (Mercy) We can all be king So go to Memphis in your mind Sounds nothing like Elvis to me.
