Hound Dog
All Shook Up
Hound Dog:
They said you was high class
Well, that was just a lie.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.
All Shook Up:
Please don?t ask me what?s on my mind
I?m a little mixed up, but I?m feelin? fine
When I?m near that girl that I love best
My heart beats so it scares me to death!
