The King Of Rock And Roll
He was born in 1935,
destined to be king.
A baby boy from Tupelo,
With hips a song could swing.
His mama knew he’d be alright,
when critics had complaints.
For she knew he was born to bless
the sinners and the saints.
Hound Dog, Love Me, Don’t Be Cruel,
You’ll Never Walk Alone,
Treat Me Nice, Amazing Grace,
The Green Green Grass Of Home.
Now every time his music plays,
I’m captured by his soul
and understand how he got crowned,
the King Of Rock - N - Roll.

"I ain't no saint, but I've tried never to do anything that would hurt my family or offend God...
I figure all any kid needs is hope and the feeling he or she belongs.
If I could do or say anything that would give some kid that feeling,
I would believe I had contributed something to the world."
-Elvis commenting to a reporter, 1950's.
