What's in the drink, chase the devil away
Magic I think so I just say Chesay
Chesay, Chesay bring you good luck night and day
Chesay, Chesay that's the gypsy way

Trouble is my middle name, though it's such a crying shame
Try and try there's nothing I can do
But I'm feeling kinda strange, feel like things are going to change
Time my lucky star was shining through
Chesay, Chesay bring you good luck night and day
Chesay, Chesay that's the gypsy way

Drink a cup of gypsy love just tip it up and then you just say Chesay
Swallow once then swallow twice, goes down so nice just say Chesay. Hey!

What's in the drink, chase the devil away
Magic I think so I just say Chesay
Chesay, Chesay bring you good luck night and day
Chesay, Chesay that's the gypsy way

Chesay, Chesay brings you good luck night and day
Chesay, Chesay that's the gypsy way
Chesay, Chesay brings you good luck night and day
Chesay, Chesay that's the gypsy way
Chesay
Recorded: 1965/05/14, first released on Frankie and Johnny

Works well in the film. Outside of the film, it doesn't. But I Love anything Elvis sings !

This soundtrack is the most "musical" of all of his movie soundtracks, and for me it works. It's a very focused and balanced soundtrack. I enjoy the movie and the soundtrack. Chesay is an enjoyable song. My favorite part is how Elvis sings: Trouble is my middle name, though it's such a crying shame; Try and try there's nothing I can do; But I'm feeling kinda strange, feel like things are going to change; Time my lucky star was shining through. Forever Elvis!

Catchy tune.

"Chesay" was never meant to be a hit song. It was made to fit a scene in the movie "Frankie and Johnny". Very enjoyable, nevertheless.

This is a mediocre song that Elvis gives a very energetic treatment nevertheless. Elvis always tried to make something out of nothing and he partially succeeds here again. It is below average though in his repertoire. Two stars from me.

Think of the year, 1966. Think of the unbelievable great music being made that year in pop, even by Sinatra & Darin. Then play this again. Yeah, its crap for an artist like Elvis.

If you judge it by it's title, it looks bad, but this one is surprising. A quick, energetic tune from the movie and soundtrack LP "Frankie And Johnny". Elvis actually sounds like he is having fun and it works well in the movie and is decent on record too. Garbage it is not.

Should have been called 'Cheesy' instead. Garbage.

Well... not one of his greatest hits... But I wouldn't say disaster... Somewhere in between... A substandard moviesong that was (to my knowledge) never released on another album.
