[STAGE BANTER] ELVIS: This song is called "Alison." [SONG BEGINS] Oh, it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl With the way you look, I understand that you are not impressed I heard you let that little friend of mine Take off your party dress I'm not gonna get too sentimental Like those other sticky valentines 'Cause I don't know if you were loving somebody I only know it isn't mine Alison I know this world is killing you Oh, Alison My aim is true Well, I see you got a husband now Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake? You used to hold him right in your hand Bet he took all he could takе Sometimes, I wish that I could stop you from talking When I hеar the silly things that you say Think somebody better put out the big light 'Cause I can't stand to see you this way Oh, Alison I know this world is killing you Oh, Alison My aim is true My aim is true My aim is true My aim is true My aim is true
