[Intro]
Well, it's one for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready, now go, cat, go

[Chorus]
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything, but stay off of my blue suede shoes

[Verse 1]
Well, you can knock me down, step in my face
Slander my name all over the place
Do anything that you wanna do
But uh-uh honey, lay off of them shoes

[Chorus]
And don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything, but stay off of my blue suede shoes
Let's go, cat!

[Guitar Solo 1]
Ah, walk the dog

[Verse 2]
You can burn my house, steal my car
Drink my liquor from an old fruit jar
Do anything that you want to do
But uh-uh, honey, lay off of my shoes

[Chorus]
And don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything, but lay off of my blue suede shoes
Rock it

[Guitar Solo 2]
Yeah!

[Bridge]
Well, it's one for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready, now go, go, go

[Chorus]
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes

[Outro]
Well it's blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes, yeah
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes, baby
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes

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.
