Elvis 1955 Baby Lets Play House HQ Lyrics

“Baby Let’s Play House“ is a song written by Arthur Gunter and recorded by him in 1954 on the Excello Records label and covered by Elvis Presley the following year on Sun Records. A line from the song (“I’d rather see you dead, little girl, than to be with another man“) was borrowed by John Lennon for his Beatles song Run for Your Life, released on Rubber Soul in 1965. Elvis Presley version Elvis’ version differs greatly from the original: Elvis started the song with the chorus, where Gunter began with the first verse, and he replaced Gunter’s line “You may get religion“ with the words “You may have a Pink Cadillac“, referring to his custom-painted ’55 Cadillac auto that had also been serving as the band’s transportation at the time. Baby Let’s Play House was on the fourth issue of a Presley record by Sun, and became the first song recorded by Elvis to appear on a national chart when it made #5 on the Billboard Country Singles chart
