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 o' my blue suede shoes
Well you can knock me down
Step in my face
Slander my name all over the place
Well do anything that you wanna do
But uh-uh honey, lay off o' them shoes
And don't you
Step on my blue suede shoes
Well you can do anything
But lay off o' my blue suede shoes
Let's go, cats!
Oh, walk the dog!
Well you can burn my house
Steal my car
Drink my liquor from an old fruit jar
Well do anything that you wanna do
But uh-uh honey, lay off o' my shoes
And don't you
Step on my blue suede shoes
Well you can do anything
But lay off o' 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 lay off o' my blue suede shoes
Well it's blue blue, blue suede shoes
Blue blue, blue suede shoes, yeah
Blue blue, blue suede shoes, baby
Blue blue, blue suede shoes
But you can do anything
But lay off o' my blue suede shoes

Didn't notice the similarity until you said, and it's not just the way the words are placed, it's the colors of the words on the black, white and grey background of a guitarist on stage, really into playing! |

Sadly, these days, when I hear 'the king' , I think of ageing teddy boys in crappy seaside towns with tattoos on their necks. oh, I know, but we can't let those berks co-opt something this great. ROCK IT! |

| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Jul 25, 2011 - 09:22 It is always a visceral experience when I hear my father sing, especially something as profound as this song... |
| sirdroseph (Yes) | Posted: Jul 25, 2011 - 09:22 This is one of Elvis good ones. He was a good performer and had a nice voice. I like a handful of his songs. This is one. 7 |
| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Jun 23, 2011 - 21:17 I never liked Elvis. But this song... made me wanna buy a pair of blue suede shoes, and I couldn't find them anywhere... Proof that Elvis was ahead of his time, and still is... |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Jun 23, 2011 - 21:16 Dad, thank you so much for teaching me everything I need to know to stand in my own shoes... this is one of my favorite songs from you... love you and miss you, dad... |

How can you not love Elvis? |

It feels like a shame because he was one of those that changed music forever, but I just can't get into anything that he's done. Maybe it is because I was forced to watch his terrible musical movies when I was a kid (back when we had 4 channels and one tv in the entire house), or maybe it is a generational thing... I don't know, but I just can't stand Elvis's music and I'm actually sorry about it. I agree 100% . . .but for some reason I like "In the Ghetto" and "Suspicious Minds" |

| sirdroseph (Outer Mongolia) | Posted: Oct 31, 2009 - 11:55 This is one of the few Elvis songs that I like; others being Teddy Bear; Thats Alright Mama and Return to Sender. He was a great entertainer and a good singer early in his career, then as he got older, weirded out and pretty much sucked ass, just like Michael Jackson.  |
