Steve Goodman - Elvis Imitators lyrics

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
