Long ago, when I was little,
My mom put me on a stand. 
And I sung my songs to people,  
And they cheered and clapped their hands.
 
Then in school, my favorite teachers
Let me play the greatest part.   
I still have my childhood pictures
That are so dear to my heart.
 
Oh! I loved to sing for people,
Watching their shining eyes
I was thrilled when they were cheerful
As my song lit the skies.
Oh! I loved to sing for people,
I made them laugh, I made them cry
I made them dance, I made them cheerful,
I made them sing the song of mine. 
 
 
And like me, my little daughter
Also loves to sing and dance. 
Very often to the mirror, 
She tries out a grand entrance. 
 
I don"t dream of being famous.  
I am happy with my life.
The life of Elvis wasn't painless.
It"s better to be just mother and wife.
 
Oh! I love to sing for people,
Watching their shining eyes
I am thrilled when they are cheerful
As my song lit the skies
Oh! I love to sing for people,
I make them laugh, I make them cry
I make them dance, I make them cheerful,
I make them sing the song of mine.
