I'm a-hangin' up my rifle, war suit, and all
Goin' back to Memphis where they're havin' a ball
Tell all the chicks, "Here I am"
Like later, big Uncle Sam
I want my guitar back
My hair, sideburns, and Cadillac
Well, the day I make that all-American scene
Is gonna be like the Battle of New Orleans
Walk right in just like a big herd of cattle
Say, "All right, tiger, out of the saddle"
That's mine, cat
Yeah, Uncle Sam can use you
Take your kooky comb
Bandstand Hollywood, the places I go
I knock 'em out with every rock and roll show
Keep it swingin', I'm travellin' light
Make like Paladin on a Saturday night
Have a Guitar Will Travel
Have Wiggle Will Wiggle
Yeah, dig
All the cats, they think that I got it made
Standin' tall up on the hit parade
Countin' my money and all my Cadillacs
Lovin' the girls and payin' income tax
Holy mackerel
Just look at the goodies
Here I am, girls
Yeah, come and get me
Come help
