I remember my papa asking me
"What are you gonna be when you grow up?"
Said now, now, "What are you gonna do
With the love I give to you when it's said and done?"
"Are you gonna shake, shake a leg
Shake, shake a leg like Elvis did? (Shake, shake a leg like Elvis did)
Are you gonna shake, shake a leg
Shake, shake a leg like Elvis did?"
I remember my mama asking me
"Why you gotta leave, you're still so young?"
Said now, now, "What are you gonna find?
There's no love like mine, you're on your own"
"Are you gonna shake, shake a leg
Shake, shake a leg like Elvis did? (Shake, shake a leg like Elvis did)
Are you gonna shake, shake a leg
Shake, shake a leg like Elvis did?" (Like Elvis did)

Said now, now, I don't know what to say
But it feels good when I play with my guitar
Now, now and when I start to sing
With the love I've got to bring, feel like a shooting star
So I'm gonna shake, shake a leg
Shake, shake a leg like Elvis did? (Shake, shake a leg like Elvis did)
Yeah, I'm gonna shake, shake a leg
Shake, shake a leg like Elvis did?
And I'm gonna bring your love
Bring your love with me (bring your love, bring your love)
Yeah, I'm gonna bring your love
Bring your love with me (bring your love), ooh (bring your love)
(Shake, shake a leg)
(Shake, shake a leg)
(Shake, shake a leg)
(Shake, shake a leg)
