Lyrics:
Well, since my baby left me,
I found a new place to dwell.
It's down at the end of lonely street
at Heartbreak Hotel.
Heartbreak is so lonely baby,
Heartbreak is so lonely,
Heartbreak is so lonely I could die.
And although it's always crowded,
you still can find some room.
Where broken hearted lovers
do cry away their gloom.
Heartbreak is so lonely baby,
Heartbreak is so lonely,
Heartbreak is so lonely I could die.
Well, the Bell hop's tears keep flowin',
and the desk clerk's dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They ain't ever gonna look back.
Heartbreak is so lonely baby,
Heartbreak is so lonely,
Heartbreak is so lonely I could die.
Hey now, if your baby leaves you,
and you got a tale to tell.
Just take a walk down lonely street
to Heartbreak Hotel.
You'll be so lonely, baby
You'll be so lonely
You'll be so lonely you could die
Although its always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
to cry away the blues
Heartbreak is so lonely, baby
It is so lonely
They'll be so lonely, they could die
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
Yeah, they said you was high classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
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
Yeah, they said you was high classed
Well, that was just a lie
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
You know, they said you was high classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
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
You ain't no friend of mine
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 actin' wild as a bug
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm mmmmm, yay yay, yeah
Well my hands are shaky and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck?
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm, mmmm, yay, yay, yeah
Well please don't ask me what's on my mind
I'm a little mixed up, but I'm feelin' fine
When I'm near the girl that I love best
My heart beats so, it scares me to death
She touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm , mmmmm, yay, yay, yeah
Well my tongue gets tied when I try to speak
My insides shakin' like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this body of mine
That's to have the girl that I love so fine
Well she touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm, mmmmm, yay, yay, yeah
Mm mm, mmmmm, yay, yay, yeah
I'm all shook up
Wise men say, only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay? Would it be a sin?
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you
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 dancing to the jailhouse rock
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowing 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 dancing 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 dancing to the jailhouse rock
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 dancing to the jailhouse rock
Shifty Henry said to Bugs, 'For heaven's sake
No one's looking, 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 dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
You know I can be found
Sitting home all alone
If you can't come around
At least please telephone
A-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
A-don't be cruel to a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
A-baby, it's still you I'm thinking of, mm
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
A-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
A-don't be cruel to a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
A-baby, it's still you I'm thinking of
A-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
A-baby, it's still you I'm thinking of
Well, it's a-one for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready now go, cat, go
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well you can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes
Well you can knock me down
Step in my face
Slander my name all over the place
Do anything that you want to do
But uh-uh honey, lay off of my shoes
And don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well you can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes
Let's go, cats
You can burn my house
Steal my car
Drink my liquor from an old fruit jar
Well do anything that you want to do
But uh-uh honey, lay off of my shoes
And don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well you can do anything but stay off'a my blue suede shoes
Rock it
Well it's a-one for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready now go, go, go
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well you can do anything but stay off'a my blue suede shoes
Well it's blue blue, blue suede shoes
Blue blue, blue suede shoes, yeah
Blue bluem blue suede shoes, baby
Blue blue blue suede shoes
Well you can do anything but stay off'a my blue suede shoes
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 fulfill.
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 fulfill.
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.
When at last my dreams come true,
Darling, this I know:
Happiness will follow you,
Everywhere you go.
Love me tender, love me true,
All my dreams fulfill.
For my darlin', I love you,
And I always will.
