[Intro]
Return to sender!
Return to sender!

[Verse 1]
I gave a letter to the postman
He put it his sack
Bright in early next morning
He brought my letter back

[Chorus]
(She wrote upon it)
Return to sender
Address unknown
No such number
No such zone
We had a quarrel
A lover's spat
I write I'm sorry, but my letter keeps coming back

[Verse 2]
So then I dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it special D
Bright in early next morning
It came right back to me

[Chorus]
(She wrote upon it)
Return to sender
Address unknown
No such person
No such zone

[Bridge]
This time I'm gonna take it myself
And put it right in her hand
And if it comes back the very next day
Then I'll understand

[Chorus]
(The writing on it)
Return to sender
Address unknown
No such number
No such zone
Return to sender
Return to sender
Return to sender
Return to sender

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.
