A lot of people seem to think I started this business. But rock 'n' roll was here a long time before I came along. Nobody can sing that kind of music like colored people. Let's face it: I can't sing like Fats Domino can. I know that.

I did the Ed Sullivan show four times. I did the Steve Allen show. I did the Jackie Gleason show.

Don't step on my blue suede shoes.

The Lord can give, and the Lord can take away. I might be herding sheep next year.

I'm evil, my middle name is misery. Well, I'm evil, so don't mess around with me.

Whatever it is, go back and do it again.

Never wait for tomorrow, what if tomorrow never comes?
