(beginning cut) ...kissed the babysitter

She screamed and I told her it was just the beast in me

And on my way out of the house I shot out my TV

I went down to the corner luncheonette and said

Sally "fried peanut butter and banana will do(?)" I'm turning into Elvis and there's nothing I can do



I threw out my wife and family I took off my wedding ring

I told my friends and neighbors to refer to me now as "King"

I put a chainlink fence around my ranch house and on the gate

a sign that reads "Graceland II"

I'm turning into Elvis and there's nothing I can do



I visited my mama's grave and I headed out to Hollywood and I signed a picture with MGM I play a rebellious beachboy racecar driver who fucks a nun in the end

In the last scene I whip out my big guitar

and show her a little Memphis-style kung-fu

I'm turning into Elvis and there's nothing I can do



But I drove on straight to Vegas and I stopped in the first old stripper bar

Found me a little hooker that looked just like Ann-Margaret

and we rumba'd in my sports car

Well me and my drinking buddies turned my lovin' home into a frikkin' zoo

I'm turning into Elvis and there's nothing I can do



Well he came to me last night in a dream looking just like he did in '57

He said "Son that guitar is a wonderful thing but it can be the living devils' friend

On the other hand there's sex-starved women,

millions of dollars, and anything you want to do."

I'm turning into Elvis and there's nothing I can do
