Way down in Memphis, Tennessee

There's a guy looking just like me

Wearing the same blue suede shoes

Singing the same old blues

Way down in the US of A

There's a guy doing things my way

Combing the same greasy hair

Hugging the same teddy bear

He's a copycat, trying to steal my soul

But he's too fat to rock 'n' roll

He's a copycat, trying to steal my soul

But he's too fat to rock 'n' roll

Way down in the deep deep South

There's a guy with a girly mouth

Eating the same banana sandwich

Dressed in the same kind of kitsch

Way down by the Mississippi river

There's a guy with a voice that quivers

Driving the same Cadillac car

Chasing the same lucky star

He's a copycat, trying to steal my soul

But he's too fat to rock 'n' roll

He's a copycat, trying to steal my soul

But he's too fat to rock 'n' roll

Way down in America

There's a guy, rich and arrogant

Dating my fair Priscilla

He makes me want to hire a killer

Way down in the land of the brave

There's a guy lying in his grave

'Cause nobody duplicating my jive

Will never get away with that alive

He was a copycat, trying to steal my soul

Now he's too dead to rock 'n' roll

He was a copycat, trying to steal my soul

Now he's too dead to rock 'n' roll

(Copycat) To rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll...

(He's too dead) To rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll...

(Copy-copycat, copycat)

(Copy-copycat, copycat)

(Copy-copycat, copycat)

(Copy-copycat, copycat) He was a copycat
