Elvis Imitators Lyrics by Steve Goodman

No Big Surprise: The Steve Goodman Anthology

0

Well I walk up to the mike and then I shake my hip
Take a deep breath and put a sneer on my lip
See me on the street you wouldn't know my name
But imitatin' Elvis is my claim to fame
So when they put my imitation name in lights
Well there'll be imitation good rockin' tonight
Cause I'm an Elvis Imitator
And I just can't stop
Imitatin' Elvis from the bottom to the top
Imitate the way he walked, the way he smiled
Throw away my scarf and make the crowd go wild
Well imitation Elvis may not be the King
But baby it's the next best thing
Singing "Viva Las Vegas"
And "The G.I. Blues"
Won't you love me tender in my blue suede shoes?
Let me be your teddy bear cause you're too much
Baby please surrender cause I need your touch
Well if you're feeling lonely
Need a place to dwell
Come on down to imitation Heartbreak Hotel
Cause I'm an Elvis Imitator
And I just can't stop
Imitatin' Elvis from the bottom to the top
Imitate the way he walked, the way he smiled
Throw away my scarf and make the crowd go wild
Well imitation Elvis may not be the King
But baby it's the next best thing
In my gold lame' cape and my sequined suit
Pompadour haircut and my high heeled boots
Imitatin' Elvis is the only way
That I can make it through my imitation day
Though this rockin' music can't be denied
I was imitatin' him before he died
Cause I'm an Elvis Imitator
And I just can't stop
Imitatin' Elvis from the bottom to the top
Imitate the way he walked, the way he smiled
Throw away my scarf and make the crowd go wild
Well imitation Elvis may not be the King
But baby it's the next best thing
