Take a deep breath and put a sneer on my lip
A
See me on the street you wouldn't know my name
E
But imitatin' Elvis is my claim to fame
B7
So when they put my imitation name in lights
E
Well there'll be imitation good rockin' tonight
E
Cause I'm an Elvis Imitator
E
And I just can't stop
E
Imitatin' Elvis from the bottom to the top
A
Imitate the way he walked, the way he smiled
E
Throw away my scarf and make the crowd go wild
B7
Well imitation Elvis may not be the King
E B7 E
But baby it's the next best thing
E
Singing "Viva Las Vegas"
E
And "The G.I. Blues"
E
Won't you love me tender in my blue suede shoes?
A
Let me be your teddy bear cause you're too much
E
Baby please surrender cause I need your touch
A
Well if you're feeling lonely
Need a place to dwell

In my gold lame' cape and my sequined suit

Pompadour haircut and my high heeled boots

Imitatin' Elvis is the only way
E
That I can make it through my imitation day
B7
Though this rockin' music can't be denied
E

E
Cause I'm an Elvis Imitator

And I just can't stop
