[Verse]
I am the king of the jungle
They call me Tiger Man
I am the king of the jungle
They call me Tiger Man
If you cross my path
You take your own life in your hands

[Chorus]
Yeah, I get up on a mountain
And I call my bear cat back
Yeah, I get up on a mountain
And I call my bear cat back
My bear cat comes running
And the hound dogs they stay way back
Way back, way back, way back
Trace their way back

[Chorus]
Yeah, well, I get up on a mountain
And I call my bear cat back
Yeah, well, I get up on a mountain
And I call my bear cat back
My bear cat comes running
But the hound dogs trace their way back
Way back, way back, way back

[Chorus]
Yeah, well, I get up on a mountain
And I call my bear cat back
Yeah, well, I get up on a mountain
And I call my bear cat back
But the hound dogs trace their way back
Way back, way back, way back

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.
