[Verse I] Well I walk up to the mike and then I shake my hip Take a deep breath and put a sneer on my lip See me on the street you wouldn’t know my name But imitatin’ Elvis is my claim to fame So when they put my imitation name in lights Well there’ll be imitation good rockin’ tonight [Chorus] Cause I’m an Elvis Imitator And I just can’t stop Imitatin’ Elvis from the bottom to the top Imitate the way he walked the way he smiled Throw away my scarf and make the crowd go wild Well imitation Elvis may not be the King But baby it’s the next best thing [Verse II] Singing "Viva Las Vegas" And "The G.I. Blues" Won’t you love me tender in my blue suede shoes? Let me be your teddy bear cause you’re too much Baby please surrender cause I need your touch Well if you’re feeling lonely Need a place to dwell Come on down to imitation Heartbreak Hotel [Chorus] Cause I’m an Elvis Imitator And I just can’t stop Imitatin’ Elvis from the bottom to the top Imitate the way he walked the way he smiled Throw away my scarf and make the crowd go wild Well imitation Elvis may not be the King But baby it’s the next best thing [Verse III] In my gold lame’ cape and my sequined suit Pompadour haircut and my high heeled boots Imitatin’ Elvis is the only way That I can make it through my imitation day Though this rockin’ music can’t be denied I was imitatin’ him before he died [Chorus] Cause I’m an Elvis Imitator And I just can’t stop Imitatin’ Elvis from the bottom to the top Imitate the way he walked the way he smiled Throw away my scarf and make the crowd go wild Well imitation Elvis may not be the King But baby it’s the next best thing I know baby I..I’m the next best thing
