Elvis Presley

Build it up, knock it down
Hold it square, roll it around
Throw it in the air
Stick it in the ground
But it's too bad, I can't get mad
'Cause I'm a roustabout

Tie it loose, make it tight
If it's wrong, do it right
Makes me kinda feel
Like I wanna fight
But it's too bad, I can't get mad
'Cause I'm a roustabout

Orders all day and half the night from the boss T
That guy just doesn't wanna see one minute lost

Stack it up, in the rear
Better still bring it here
Wanna take it out, stick it in his ear
But it's too bad, I can't get mad
'Cause I'm a roustabout

A handyman is all I am around this place
Every time I turn around, he's right up in my face

Bring it in, bring it out
When I'm slow, boy he shouts
Getting awful tired, running in and out
But it's too bad, I can't get mad
'Cause I'm a roustabout

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.
