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
