    There exists a song from an obscure girl group called "The Valentines". They were from Vancouver. They did only one single in 1960. The a-side was a song called "The sock". It's about Elvis Presley's sock! His Manager - Colonel Tom Parker - sold it as a souvenier to the girls - for only ten dollars ... Now I need your help. I'm not an english native speaker and the girls are singing too fast for me. Please could someone complete the lyrics? Thank you. You can listen to the song here.

    Here are the (incomplete) lyrics:


    We bought a souvenier we really hold so near

    and let it one match ...

    Because it’s ... and there’s a hole in the sock it is made by Elvis Presley’s left toe

    The Colonel sold it to me

    He nearly gives it to us free

    It only costs ten Dollars or so

    And we are rolling and a’rocking

    with a hole in his stocking made by Elvis Presley’s left toe



    We really picked up our shoes ...

    ... and everybody ... go

    And we are rolling and a’rocking

    with a hole in his stocking made by Elvis Presley’s left toe

    We wouldn’t take a diamond, wouldn’t take a mansion

    wouldn’t trade for the Rockefeller though

    Our litte hole in the sock for the rolling and the rocking made by Elvis Presley’s left toe



    It was a G.I. issue from the battle of the hymn


    And we are rolling and a’rocking

    with a hole in his stocking made by Elvis Presley’s left toe

    Made be Elvis Presley’s left toe

    Made by Elvis Presley’s left toe

    Made by Elvis Presley’s left toe
