(excerpt From) The Jaycees Speech Lyrics - Elvis Presley

When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. 

I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I 

was the hero in the movie.So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred 

times. These gentlemen over there, these are the type who care, are dedicated. 

You realize if it's not possible that they might be building the kingdom, 

it's not far-fetched from reality. I'd like to say that I learned 

very early in life that: 

'Without a song the day would never end 

Without a song a man ain't got a friend 

Without a song the road would never bend 

Without a song...' 

So I keep singing a song. 

Good night. 

Thank you.
