[Intro]
Hey baby, I ain't asking much of you
No no no no no no no no baby, I ain't asking much of you
Just a big-a big-a big-a hunk of love will do

[Verse 1]
Don't be a stingy little mama
You're 'bout to starve me half to death
Now you can spare a kiss or two and
Still have plenty left, no no no
Baby, I ain't asking much of you
Just a big-a big-a big-a hunk of love will do

[Verse 2]
You're just a natural born beehive
Filled with honey to the top
But I ain't greedy, baby
All I want is all you got, no no no
I ain't asking much of you
Just a big-a big-a big-a hunk of love will do

[Verse 3]
I got a wishbone in my pocket
I got a rabbit foot around my wrist
You know I'd have all of the things my lucky charms could bring
If you give me just a one sweet kiss
Oh no no no no no no no no
Baby, I ain't asking much of you
Just a big a hunk o' hunk o' hunk o' love will do, that's right
Just a big a big a big a hunk o' love will do, that's right
Just a big a big a big a hunk o' love will do, that's right
Just a big a big a big a hunk o' love

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.
