She asked me: do you like jazz? and I said no
No jazz, big band or dixieland,
can beat the king of rock ‘n’ roll
I told her all about Elvis
she begged me to go on

I thought my hair was okay
but something else went wrong
My voice was going
when I tried to sing a catchy Elvis-song
She said: hey isn’t that Jersey, Jack Jersey?
and put his record on

I said no, don’t put that record on the stereo
I said no, you must have got me wrong

She said: gee, I’m sorry, would you please go on
I decided to rock her socks off, with a Jerry Lee Lewis song
She said: hey, isn’t that Ernie, Long Tall Ernie
And put his record on

I said no, don’t put that record on the stereo
I said no, you must have got me wrong

I said no, don’t put that record on the stereo
I said no, you must have got me wrong
