“Girls Girls Girls”, or “Girls! Girls! Girls!”, is a song written and produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.
It was originally recorded by The Coasters, who released it as a single in July 1961. The Coasters were also the original performers of another Elvis Presley recording, “Little Egypt”.
Elvis Presley recorded his version as part of the soundtrack for his 1962 motion picture of the same name. Its first LP release was on the eponymous soundtrack album in November 1962. In selected countries, it was also released on an eponymous EP.
The song was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, originally for rock and roll vocal group The Coasters. The band recorded it in the same recording session as “Little Egypt”, another song Elvis would later release. Neither songs did much for the band’s popularity, only reaching number 96 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Presley recorded it on Tuesday, March 27, 1962 during his March 26–28 soundtrack recordings for the Paramount movie Girls! Girls! Girls! at the Radio Recorders studio in Hollywood, California.
Girls, goin’ swimming, girl, in bikinis
A walkin’ and wigglin’ by, yay, yay, yay
Girls, on the beaches, girls, oh, what a peaches
So pretty, Lord I could cry, I’m just a red blooded boy
And I can’t stop thinkin’ about
Girls, sailin’ sailboats, girls, water skiin’
They’ll drive me out of my mind, yay, yay, yay
Girls, big and brassy, girls, small and sassy
Just give me one of each kind
I’m just a red blooded boy
And I can’t stop thinkin’ about
Girls! Girls! Girls! Girls!
And when I pick up a sandwich to munch
A crunchy crunchety, a crunchety crunch
I never ever get to finish my lunch
Because there’s always bound to be a bunch of
Girls, in tight sweaters, girls, in short dresses
A walkin’ and wigglin’ by, yay, yay, yay
Girls, out boatin’, girls, just a floatin’
So pretty, Lord I could cry
I’m just a red blooded boy
And I can’t stop thinkin’ about
Girls! Girls! Girls! Girls! Girls! Girls!
