[Chorus]
This is living
Full of fun and free
This is living
That's the life for me

[Verse 1]
It's good to laugh and sing
Don't worry about a thing
Wear a happy smile
Cut loose and run a mile
If you relax and just enjoy it all
Life has got to be a ball

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
It wouldn't mean a thing
If I could be a king
I really wouldn't care
To be a millionaire
I'd rather find someone to love a lot
Live and give it all I've got

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Don't want to settle down
I got to move around
I got to lot of time
I'm going to wait and find
The kind of girl who's heart is restless too
The kind who feels the way I do

[Chorus]

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
