(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
