von Elvis Presley

Before I do anything else, ladies and gentlemen
I′d like to introduce the band
Charlie this is Jerry
Larry

Like to introduce the members of my crew
My crew that are doing such a fantastic job for me

I'm gonna dive over there in a few minutes, boy, I′m telling you
A flying leap

First of all, the young ladies that opened our show tonight
They really live up to their name, ladies and gentlemen
The Sweet Inspirations

The beautiful quartet voices you hear in the back
Belong to the great Imperials, ladies and gentlemen
The Imperials

Young man on lead guitar
He's one of the finest guitar players I've ever met
His name is Chuck Berry, nah
James Burton

Young man on rhythm guitar, he makes records for RCA
His name is John Wilkinson

His father makes razor blades

Young man on drums
He′s from Dallas, Big D
His name is Ronnie Tutt

Falling apart boy, I′ll tell ya

Young man on fender bass
His name is Jerry Scheff, ladies and gentlemen

So that's Tutt and that′s Scheff
That's Tutt Scheff anyway you look at it, boy, I′ll tell you for sure
No, ain't nothin′ wrong with that, that's Tutt Scheff, man

Uh, let me see
Oh, yeah

The guy that hands me my water
And guitars are setup great
He's a good friend of mine, I met him when I was in the army
His name is Charlie Hodge, ladies and gentlemen
Charlie

Our orchestra and conductor, ladies and gentlemen
His name is Bobby Morris
Bobby

And I′d like you to say hello to the wonderful Bobby Morris Wooly Boogers, ladies and gentlemen

There′s somebody in the audience I'd like to say hello to, ladies and gentlemen
That I know very well
I′ve done three pictures with this young lady
And I really think she's beautiful and she′s a heck of a talented actress
And I really do dig her, I'd like you to say hello to Miss Shelley Fabares
Shelley where are you, baby?

Come on, you′re by yourself
Stand up, man, do something they put a spotlight on you, you know

Musta warped her mind completely, man, she didn't expect that

A song they just did very well for me recently, ladies and gentlemen
