I am just a boy from Memphis
And I came to sing a song
All I want is just to make my mama proud
If you like the way I sing it
Feel free to sing along
Don’t worry if we get a little loud

Now the music seems to move me
It’s a thing I can’t control
‘Cause the music’s buried deep within my soul
And the song I want to sing
Well it kinda sounds like this
It is something that they’re callin’ Rock N’ Roll

There was this lonely boy from Memphis
Who learned how to play guitar
Never really thinking it would take him very far
But this lonely boy from Memphis
Was born to be a star
‘Cause lightning can strike anywhere you are

We’ll some say that I’m the King
But I’m an ordinary guy
I got myself a dream the same as you
I hope you will buy my records
‘Cause I know that if you do
That maybe my big dream is comin’ true

I hope that you’ll remember me
When I am dead and gone
And maybe still be singing all my songs
All about this boy from Memphis
Who knew how to sing a song
And made us want to dance and sing along
