I came across this hilarious document in an Elvis book many years ago and Xeroxed it. At the weekend I was clearing out some old files and I came across it again. It is evidently an aural transcription of the lyrics to Jailhouse Rock, which was actually printed on the cover of an old Brazilian Elvis LP.
One, two part in the cany dial
Prison in the stand they forgot the wale
When this job is none
The job began to swing
You should have to rock
Dead jail bird sing let’s rock
Everybody let’s rock
Everybody in all say oh! Bob
You stand till Jail our rock
Start a marble place in the saxphone
Little Joe in blow in old sax trombone
Climb across the matter
You gonna track oil band
You hold a red sax
You wanna purple game
Now I’m part of seven
Said my mamma three
You use cute this Jail further ever did see
I show I’ll be alive when you call for me
Come on and do the Jail
Let’s rock it wanna be
It said sax is secret on the block stone
You call in the corner we are not alone
You want to say
Nobody don’t be no square
You can’t by a part
It used to worry in Jail
She forgot her sad about for heaven sake
It want look matter just to make a break
Brother turn his shirt
To empty sad Mrs Smith
I want to stick around
Or wanna give my kick

Could that have been the inspiration for the mighty Swedish Elvis, Eilert Pilarm? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joncSCoF8eU
Let us not forget Peter Singh the Welsh/Indian Elvis who’se Rockin’ With The Sikh featured the immortal lines:
I don’t smoke dope
I don’t drink bourbon
All I wanna do is shake my turban
Viva Elvis!!!
Hail Your Charlesworthness,
Love it! Better than the Elve original for me.
As you’re a man who oozes music I wondered if you fancied gettin’ on your scuba gear and divin’ down, down, deeper and down with me into the murky music waters under the itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny tip of the rock iceberg? You can get into the whole gig at http://www.rockmusicblog.co.uk – a trawl thru the obscure sock drawer of rock.
May your stylus gather no dust,
