Mixing:Hugo BombardierErich van Tourneau

Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.

But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my Blue suede shoes.

Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my Blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

You can burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruitjar.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

Well, that's all right, mama
That's all right for you
That's all right mama, just anyway you do
Well, that's all right, that's all right.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do

Mama she done told me,
Papa done told me too
'Son, that gal your foolin' with,
She ain't no good for you'
But, that's all right, that's all right.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do

I'm leaving town, baby
I'm leaving town for sure
Well, then you won't be bothered with
Me hanging 'round your door
Well, that's all right, that's all right.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do

Mixing:Hugo BombardierErich van Tourneau

Well, since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell
It's down at the end of lonely street
At Heartbreak Hotel

Heartbreak is so lonely baby
Heartbreak is so lonely
Heartbreak is so lonely I could die

And although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
Where broken hearted lovers
Do cry away their gloom

Heartbreak is so lonely baby
Heartbreak is so lonely
Heartbreak is so lonely I could die

Well, the Bell hop's tears keep flowin'
And the desk clerk's dressed in black
Well they been so long on lonely street
They ain't ever gonna look back

Heartbreak is so lonely baby
Heartbreak is so lonely
Heartbreak is so lonely I could die

Hey now, if your baby leaves you
And you got a tale to tell
Just take a walk down lonely street
To Heartbreak Hotel

You'll be so lonely, baby
You'll be so lonely
You'll be so lonely you could die

Although its always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry away the blues

Heartbrek is so lonely, baby
It is so lonely
They'll be so lonely, they could die

Happiness will follow you,
Everywhere you go.

6.King Creole(Viva Elvis)

Lyricist:LEIBER JERRY;STOLLER MIKE;Erich van Tourneau;Hugo Bombardier
Writer(s):STOLLER MIKELEIBER JERRY
Mixing:Hugo BombardierErich van Tourneau

There's a man in New Orleans
Who plays rock and roll
He's a guitar man
With a great big soul
He lays down a beat
Like a ton of coal
He goes by the name of King Creole

You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Hip shaking King Creole

When the king starts to do it
It's as good as done
He holds his guitar
like a tommy gun
He starts to growl
From way down his throat
He bends a string
And 'that's all she wrote'

Well, he sings a song about a crawdad hole
He sings a song about a jelly roll
He sings a song about pork and greens
He sings some blues about New Orleans

Well, he plays something evil
Then he plays something sweet
No matter how he plays
You got to get up on your feet
When he gets the rockin' fever
baby, heaven sakes
He don't stop playin'
'Till his guitar breaks


7.Bossa Nova Baby(Viva Elvis)

Writer(s):StollerLeiber
Mixing:Hugo BombardierErich van Tourneau

I said take it easy baby I worked all day
And my feet feel just like lead
You got my shirttail flying all over the place
And the sweat poppin' out of my head

She said hey bossa nova baby keep on workin'
Cause this ain't no time to quit
She said go bossa nova baby keep on dancin'
I'm about to have myself a fit

Bossa Nova
Bossa Nova

I said hey little mama lets sit down
And have a drink and dig the band
She said drink, drink, drink oh fiddly-dink
I can dance with a drink in my hand

She said hey bossa nova baby keep on working
Cause this ain't no time to drink
She said go bossa nova baby keep on dancin'
Cause I ain't got the time to think

Bossa Nova
Bossa Nova

I said come on baby its hot in here
And it's oh so cool outside
If you lend me a dollar I can buy some gas
And we can go for a little ride

She said hey bossa nova baby keep on workin'
Cause I ain't got the time for that
She said go bossa nova baby keep on dancin'
Or I'll find myself another cat

Bossa Nova
Bossa Nova
Bossa Nova
Bossa Nova


8.Burning Love(Viva Elvis)

Lyricist:Dennis Linde;Erich van Tourneau;Hugo Bombardier
Writer(s):Dennis Linde
Mixing:Hugo BombardierErich van Tourneau

Lord Almighty,
I feel my temperature rising
Higher and higher
It's burning through to my soul

Girl girl girl girl
You're gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go

'Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
Nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke
But I feel fine

'Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love

It's coming closer
The flames they're licking my body
Won't you help me
I feel like I'm slipping away
It's hard to breathe
And my chest is just a-heaving
Lord have Mercy
I'm burning a hole where I lay

'Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
(With burning love)

Burning love
(Burning love)
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love


9.Memories(Viva Elvis)

Mixing:Hugo BombardierErich van Tourneau

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine

Quiet thoughts come floating down
And settle softly to the ground
Like golden autumn leaves around my feet
I touched them and they burst apart with sweet memories,
Sweet memories

Of holding hands and red bouquets
And twilight trimmed in purple haze
And laughing eyes and simple ways
And quiet nights and gentle days with you

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine,
Memories, memories, sweet memories

Mixing:Hugo BombardierErich van Tourneau

Wise men say, only fools rush in
But I can't help, falling in love with you

Shall I stay, would it be a sin
If I can't help, falling in love with you

Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be

Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help, falling in love with you

Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be

Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help, falling in love with you

For I can't help, falling in love with you

Writer(s):Richard RodgersHammerstein
Mixing:Hugo BombardierErich van Tourneau

When you walk through a storm hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.


12.Suspicious Minds(Viva Elvis)

Lyricist:Mark James;Erich van Tourneau;Hugo Bombardier
Writer(s):Mark James
Mixing:Hugo BombardierErich van Tourneau

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds(suspicious minds)
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

So if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello,
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?

Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see the tears are real
I'm crying(yes i'm crying)

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds(suspicious minds)
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

Oh let our love survive
I'll dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Mmm yeah, yeah

We're caught in a trap,
I can't walk out
