EASY COME, EASY GO
(Sid Wayne / Ben Weisman)
Performed by Elvis Presley
Easy come, easy go
Here, there, everywhere
Crazy love is in the air, delightful
Mmm, day and nightfall
So many girls in every port
You've gotta be a juggernaut
Full speed ahead or you'll be caught
Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
Easy come, easy go
Up, down, all around
Kiss for kiss and pound for pound, delicious (Easy come, easy go)
Mmm, so nutritious (Easy come, easy go)
Sailor beware take it slow
Easy come, easy go
All right!
(Instrumental Break)
When you want love to keep you warm
There's nothin' like a uniform
You got a port in any storm
There she blows
Easy come, easy go
Up, down, all around
Kiss for kiss and pound for pound, delicious (Easy come, easy go)
Mmm, so nutritious (Easy come, easy go)
Sailor beware take it slow
Easy come, easy go
Sailor beware take it slow
Easy come, easy go
Easy come (Easy come), easy go (easy go)
Easy come (Easy come), easy go (easy go)
Easy come (Easy come), easy go (easy go)

THE LOVE MACHINE
(Gerald Nelson / Fred Burch / Chuck Taylor)
Performed by Elvis Presley
Step right up to the love machine
You may get lucky when you zap a dream
Let the wheel go round, round and round
Well, you may win that girl you've never found
She may be Suzy or Maybelline
She could be Cathy or Angeline
Let the wheel go round, round and round
Try your luck right now on the love machine
We're just a bunch of salty sailors, one thing on our mind
Takin' a chance on this machine, maybe love we'll find
She may be tall, she may be short, she may be wide
But Lady Luck stop that wheel on 38-24-35
Step up, whose next in line
This love machine don't waste no time
Let the wheel go round, round and round
What will your fortune be on the love machine
All right
We're just a bunch of salty sailors, one thing on our mind
Takin' a chance on this machine, maybe love we'll find
She may be tall, she may be short, she may be wide
But Lady Luck stop that wheel on 38-24-35
Step up, whose next in line
This love machine don't waste no time
Let the wheel go round and round and round
And round and round and round and round
What will your fortune be on the love machine
What will your fortune be on the love machine

YOGA IS AS YOGA DOES
(Gerald Nelson / Fred Burch)
Performed by Elvis Presley, Elsa Lanchester & Chorus
ELSA:
Well I can see that you and yoga will never do
Yoga is as yoga does, there's no in-between
Your either with it on the ball or you've blown the scene
I can see lookin' at you, you just can't get settled
ELVIS:
How can I even move, twisted like a pretzel
(Yoga is, yoga does, there's no in-between)
(Your either with it all the way)
ELSA: Or you've blown the scene
(Or you've blown the scene)
Come on, come on, untwist my legs, pull my arms a lot
How did I get so tied up in this yoga knot
You tell me just how I can take this yoga serious
When all it ever gives to me is a pain in my posterious
(Yoga is, yoga does, there's no in-between)
(Your either with it all the way)
ELVIS: Or you've blown the scene
ELSA: Or you've blown the scene
Stand upside down on your head, feet against the wall
A simple yoga exercise done by one and all
Now cross your eyes and hold your breath, look just like a clown
Yoga's sure to catch you if you come fallin' down
(Yoga is, yoga does, there's no in-between)
(Your either with it all the way)
ELVIS: Or you've blown the scene
(Or you've blown the scene)

YOU GOTTA STOP
(Bill Giant / Bernie Baum / Florence Kaye)
Performed by Elvis Presley
Baby you've been lying to me
Now I'm onto you
It's the same old song
But it doesn't ring true
That's right, you're wrong again
Time to change and put you on your own again
You've had your way too long
Time for me to be moving on
You gotta stop, you're wrong again
Stop that song again
You've been steppin' out, wild and fancy free
Now you've had your fun and you're running back to me
It just can't be if there's no harmony
Then stop!
That's all, let's break it up
You've had me fooled, now I'm wakin' up
I see right through your lies
You made me open my eyes
You gotta stop, you're wrong again
Stop that song again
It's too late now, I've made up my mind
Being here with you is just a waste of time
Nothing to say so I'll be on my way
Stop!
(Instrumental Break)
You gotta stop, you're wrong again
Stop that song again
It's too late now, I've made up my mind
Being here with you is just a waste of time
It just can't be if there's no harmony
Then stop!
Stop, you're wrong again
Stop that song again
Stop, you're wrong again
You gotta stop that song again
Stop!

SING YOU CHILDREN
(Gerald Nelson / Fred Burch)
Performed by Elvis Presley
Old Jonah he was desperate in the belly of the whale
But Jonah had a plan, he knew he couldn't fail
He raised his head on high and lookin' for the sky
And sang a song so pretty, the whale told him goodbye
You got to sing you children sing, sing you children sing
I only know one thing, hey! hey! hey!
Sing you children sing, everybody, sing you children sing
Sing your troubles away
Well Moses said "Good Lord, open up these waters for me
So I can get your chidren across the salty sea"
Now the Lord parted the waters and singin' hand in hand
Moses and the children walked over to the promised land
Sing you children sing, sing you children sing
I only know one thing, hey! hey! hey!
Sing you children sing, everybody, sing you children sing
Sing your troubles away
You've got to sing your troubles away
Sing your troubles away
Sing your troubles away
Sing your troubles away

I'LL TAKE LOVE
(Dolores Fuller / Mark Barkan)
Performed by Elvis Presley
Some people think that pot of gold
Is all they ever want to hold
But there's a treasure I think more of
Measure for measure, I'll take love
Some people think that their success
Is all they need for happiness
But there's a pleasure I think more of
Measure for measure, I'll take love
Pound for pound, oh yeah, and ounce for ounce
Love is all that really counts
So let them have their wealth and fame
Eat caviar and drink champagne
You're all the treasure I'm dreaming of
Measure for measure, I'll take love
Pound for pound, oh yeah, and ounce for ounce
Love is all that really counts
So let them have their wealth and fame
Eat caviar and drink champagne
You're all the treasure I'm dreaming of
Measure for measure, I'll take love
I'll take love
I'll take love
I'll take love
I'll take love

SHE'S A MACHINE
(Recorded for, but not included in the final print of the film)
(Joy Byers)
Performed by Elvis Presley
Well she's a earthquakin', hip shakin', soul breakin', love makin' machine, hey hey!
She's a man stalkin', smooth talkin', slow walkin' cat, you know what I mean, hey hey!
She'll wrap those arms around you, like a grizzly bear
She'll kiss you every fifteen minutes, then let you up for air
Cause she's a earthquakin', hip shakin', soul breakin', love makin' machine, a-hey hey!
All right!
Well she's a wild movin', smooth groovin', clock tickin', love makin' machine, hey hey!
She's a real freezin', rough squeezin', hell teasin' cat, you know what I mean, hey hey!
She'll love you late and like it, sweet as she can be
She'll make you blow your mind before you count from one to three
'Cause she's a earthquakin', hip shakin', soul breakin', love makin' machine, hey hey!
Well she's a earthquakin', hip shakin', soul breakin', love makin' machine, a-hey hey!
Well she's a earthquakin', hip shakin', soul breakin', love makin' machine, a-hey hey!
