(Giant / Baum / Kaye)

 

Information:
Elvis recorded Plantation Rock on March 27, 1962, at Radio Recorders for his 1962 film
Girls! Girls! Girls!, but the song was cut from the final print. This song, written by Bill Giant, Bernie Baum and Florence Kaye, was available only on the bootleg LP Plantation Rock until officially released by RCA in 1983 on the LP Elvis - A Legendary Performer, Volume 4.

 

Lyrics:
 

Now come along with me
We'll do the plantation rock
It's easy as can be
You'll wanna dance round the clock
Well, it became a sensation
Rockin' on the plantation
Dancin' in the fields down to each dock
And do the plantation rock

So come on, bend your knees
Twist with ease side to side
Like the swaying trees keep in rhythm
Now have some pep double step
Shake right there like a rockin' chair
And stay with them

Now you're right at home
Doin' the plantation rock
Just do it as you were shown
You'll wanna dance round the clock

Well, just like on the plantation
Folks all over the nation
Started rockin' on each street and block
And do the plantation rock
Do the plantation rock
Do the plantation rock
Do the plantation rock...
