Imitation Medley Lyrics – Just in Time

[ELVIS PRESLEY]
Wop-bop-ba-loo-bop, a-lop-bam-boom
Tutti frutti, oh, rooty
Tutti frutti, oh, rooty
Tutti frutti, oh, rooty
Tutti frutti, oh, rooty
Tutti frutti, oh, rooty
A-wop-bop-ba-loo-bop, a-lop-bam-boom

[ELVIS PRESLEY, spoken]
Thank you very much

[BOBBY]
So I write my own version
Fellas, key of D, for "derivative"

[SIRENS, sung]
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, zop-bop-bop

[BOBBY]
Pretty Betty, I'm ready
Pretty Betty, I'm ready
Pretty Betty, I'm ready
Pretty Betty, I'm ready
Pretty Betty, I'm ready
Oh, ready to go steady with you!
[SIRENS]
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, steady with you

[BOBBY]
I got a girl named Ann and one named Sue

But they can't do what pretty Betty can do

[BOBBY, spoken]
I sound more like Elvis than Elvis, but the song doesn't chart
So, oh, God
Kirsh and I hit the country trail, blazed by Vaughn Monroe with "Riders in the Sky"

[SIRENS, sung]
Hee-haw

[BOBBY]
An old cowboy went riding out on? dark and windy day

[SIRENS]
Hee-haw

[BOBBY, SIRENS]
Upon a ridge he rest?d as he went along his way (Ooh, ah)

[BOBBY, spoken]
Okay, brace yourselves
[BOBBY]
There is a mermaid in the sea, her eyes are dark as blue

[SIRENS]
Ooh

[BOBBY]
And sailors say they only see her when a storm is due
She stretches out her loving arms and looks so innocent
But the men who meet her never live a minute to repent

[SIRENS]
Ooh

[BOBBY, spoken]
Believe it or not, I can sync lower
Fats Domino's got a big, fat hit with "Ain't That a Shame," every singer is covering it

[CONNIE, spoken]
Including me, I'm big now!

[CONNIE]
You made me cry
When you said goodbye
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame
[CONNIE, spoken]
Great song, you gonna record it?

[BOBBY, spoken]
Nah, why sing a great song when I can sing...

[BOBBY]
Well, you heard me so
When you said you'd go
Don't call my name

[CONNIE]
That song's a shame

[BOBBY]
Things ain't the same

[CONNIE]
It sounds the same

[BOBBY]
And if you call my name

[CONNIE]
It's fuckin' lame

[BOBBY]
You'd be calling insane

[CONNIE]
Shame...

[BOBBY, spoken]
I bring my low Fats rip-off over to the biggest radio DJ in New York: Murray the K

[BOBBY]
Well, I believe your lies
But now I'm wise
Don't call my na—

[MURRAY THE K, spoken]
It's not a flop, but it's not a hit
More like a tweener

[BOBBY]
They keep having me copy all these other singers, how am I supposed to find my own sound?

[MURRAY THE K]
Mother had another one of her brilliant ideas in the tub
A song title, "Splish Splash, Take a Bath"
And 15 minutes later...
