[Chorus]
Farewell, Royal High School
We'll remember you
Dear alma mater
We're steadfast, loyal, and true

[Verse 1]
As we go onward
In the lives we lead
Your light will guide us
Your motto is our creed

[Verse 2]
We will look back fondly
At your ivy walls
Recalling precious moments
Within your hallowed halls

[Chorus]
Farewell, Royal High School
We'll remember you
Dear alma mater
We're steadfast, loyal, and true

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.
