[Verse 1]
Well, there's a leak in this old building
Yes, there's a leak in this old building
Well, there's a leak in this old building
We're gonna move to a better home

[Verse 2]
We got no pane in this old window
We got no pane in this old window
We got no pane in this old window
We're gonna move to a better home

[Verse 3]
Well, there's a hole in the roof where the rain pours in
A hole in the floor where it drops right out again
Well, there's a leak in this old building
Well, there's a leak in this old building
Well, there's a leak in this old building
We're gonna move to a better home

[Verse 4]
Well, there's a crack across the ceiling
Yes, there's a crack across the ceiling
Well, there's a crack across the ceiling
We're gonna find us a better home

[Verse 5]
We've gotta stove without a chimney
We've gotta stove without a chimney
What good's a stove without a chimney?
We're gonna move to a better home

[Verse 6]
Pulling down window shades is no use at all
The kids and the neighbor can peep right through the wall
Well, there's a leak in this old building
Well, there's a leak in this old building
Well, there's a leak in this old building (look out below)
We're gonna move to a better
Move to a better
Move to a better home

Elvis Presley

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.
