(Tepper and Bennett)

Information:
Elvis sang Confidence in his 1967 movie Clambake. The film version was longer than that on record and included a children’s chorus. Confidence, which was written by Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett, was recorded by Elvis at RCA’s Nashville studios on February 22, 1967. The record version had a female chorus, which was overdubbed on September 19, 1967. 

Lyrics:

When everyone thought the world was flat
Columbus said "It's round"
He went down in history
And America was found

1. 'Cause he had confidence
A little thing called confidence
There's no job too immense when you've got
Confidence

3. With a "C" and an "O" and an "N" and an "F"
And an "I" and a "D" and an "ENCE"
Put 'em all together and what have you got
Confidence

2. You'd be surprised what you can do
If you will only try

Remember the tortoise and the hare
Who had that famous race
The speedy hare wound up nowhere
And slow poke took first place

1. 2. 2. (repeat)

How do you know that you can't ride a rainbow in the sky

2. 3. (repeat)

Confi ..... Confi .... Confidence
