E
Take a deep breath and put a sneer on my lip
  A
See me on the street you wouldn't know my name
      E
But imitatin' Elvis is my claim to fame
    B7
So when they put my imitation name in lights
      E
Well there'll be imitation good rockin' tonight


[Chorus]

  E
Cause I'm an Elvis Imitator
  E
And I just can't stop
  E
Imitatin' Elvis from the bottom to the top
   A
Imitate the way he walked, the way he smiled
  E
Throw away my scarf and make the crowd go wild
      B7
Well imitation Elvis may not be the King
     E             B7         E
But baby it's the next best thing



[Verse II]

  E
Singing "Viva Las Vegas"
  E
And "The G.I. Blues"
  E
Won't you love me tender in my blue suede shoes?
  A
Let me be your teddy bear cause you're too much
  E
Baby please surrender cause I need your touch
     A
Well if you're feeling lonely

Need a place to dwell
         E
Come on down to imitation Heartbreak Hotel



[Chorus]

   E
Cause I'm an Elvis Imitator
   E
And I just can't stop
   E
Imitatin' Elvis from the bottom to the top
   A
Imitate the way he walked, the way he smiled
  E
Throw away my scarf and make the crowd go wild
     B7
Well imitation Elvis may not be the King
    E              B7        E
But baby it's the next best thing



[Verse III]

   E
In my gold lame' cape and my sequined suit
   E
Pompadour haircut and my high heeled boots
   A
Imitatin' Elvis is the only way
     E
That I can make it through my imitation day
     B7
Though this rockin' music can't be denied
    E
I was imitatin' him before he died



[Chorus]

    E
Cause I'm an Elvis Imitator
    E
And I just can't stop
    E
Imitatin' Elvis from the bottom to the top
    A
Imitate the way he walked, the way he smiled
   E
Throw away my scarf and make the crowd go wild
   B7
Well imitation Elvis may not be the King
   E               B7         E
But baby it's the next best thing
   E    A               B7        E
I know baby I..I'm the next best thing
