[Chorus]
Oh yes, I've got a lot of living to do
A whole lot of loving to do
Come on, baby, to make a party takes two
Oh yes I've got a lot of living to do
Whole lot of loving to do
Well, there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you

[Verse 1]
There's a moon that's big and bright
In the milky way tonight
But the way you act, you never would know it's there
Now baby, time's a-wasting
A lot of kisses I am not been tasting
I don't know about you, but I'm going to get my share

[Chorus]
I got a lot of living to do
Whole lot of loving to do
Come on, baby, to make a party takes two
Oh yes, I've got a lot of living to do
Whole lot of loving to do
Well, there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you

[Verse 2]
There's a balmy little breeze
That's a-whistling through the trees
And it's telling you to pitch a little woo with me
Why don't you take a listen
You'll never know what you've been missing
Cuddle up real close and be my little honey bee

[Chorus]
Got a lot of living to do
Got a lotta loving to do
Come on, baby, to make a party takes two
Oh yes, I've got a lot of living to do
Whole lotta loving to do
Well, there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you

[Verse 3]
You're the prettiest thing I've seen
But you treat me so doggone mean
Ain't you got no heart, I'm dying to hold you near
Why do you keep me waiting?
Why don't you start cooperating?
And the things I say, the things you want to hear

[Chorus]
I got a lot of living to do
I got a lotta loving to do
Come on, baby, to make a party takes two
Oh yes, I've got a lot of living to do
Got a lotta loving to do
Well, there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you
There's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you
Well, there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you

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.
