(Leiber / Stoller)

Information:
Girls! Girls! Girls! was a Jerry Leiber-Mike Stoller composition originally recorded by The Coasters (Atco 6204) in 1960. Their recording reached #96 on the Hot 100 chart. Elvis recorded Girls! Girls! Girls! in March 1962 at Radio Recorders. It was used as the title song to Elvis’s 1962 movie, Girls! Girls! Girls! The main title version (and the one used on record) is take #3. The end title version, with different vocal backings and lyrics, was the result of a splice of three takes.

Lyrics:

(Girls! Girls! Girls! Girls!)
(Girls), goin' swimming,
(Girls), in bikinis,
Walkin' away wigglin' by, yay, yay, yay
(Girls), on the beaches,
(Girls), oh, what peaches,
So pretty, Lord I could cry
I'm just a red blooded boy
And I can't stop thinkin' about

(Girls), sailin' sailboats,
(Girls), water skiin',
(Girls), they'll drive me out of my mind, yay, yay, yay
(Girls), big and brassy,
(Girls), small and sassy,
Just give me one of each kind

1. I'm just a red blooded boy
And I can't stop thinkin' about
Girls! Girls! Girls! Girls!

And when I pick up a sandwich too much
A crunchy crunchety
A crunchety crunch
I never ever get to finish my lunch
Because there's always bound to be a bunch of

(Girls), in tight sweaters,
(Girls), in short dresses,
(Girls), walkin' away wigglin' by, yay, yay, yay
(Girls), high out boatin'
(Girls), just a floatin'
(Girls), so pretty, Lord I could cry.
