Words & Music: Dory Jones/ Ollie Jones
Finders, keepers, losers, weepers
I won't weep and I won't moan
'Cause I found you and your love so true
And I'm keeping you for my own

Heads I win or tails I lose
I bet my heart to win your love
The day you kissed me, good luck was with me
And I thank my lucky stars above

I'm not the kind to play for fun
I only play for keeps and I'm keeping all the love I won
Finders, keepers, losers, weepers
The loser has to pay the score
He lost you and I found you
And I'm keeping you for ever more

I'm not the kind to play for fun
I only play for keeps and I'm keeping all the love I won
Finders, keepers, losers, weepers
The loser has to pay the score
He lost you and I found you
And I'm keeping you for ever more
He lost you and I found you
And I'm keeping you for ever more
Yeah he lost you and I found you
And I'm keeping you for ever more
He lost you and I found you
And I'm keeping you for ever more
Recorded: 1963/05/26, first released on Elvis for Everyone

Recorded in May of '63 for an album that was never to be (the "lost" album). This is another one of the "Return To Sender" type songs that Elvis recorded trying to cash in on RTS success. It is a fun, but somewhat forgettable track...3 stars....RCA's and Colonel Parker's decision to not release an LP with the material they had from that May recording session (and a couple of nice tunes leftover from '61, "I Met Her Today" and "For The Millionth And The Last Time") was the first big mistake by both label and manager. Elvis still enjoyed recording and there had been a great balance between soundtracks and studio work up until 1963. With this move, they basically told Elvis what they thought of his studio work.

Pure pop, plain and simple. A good bouncy tune for the early 60's but the arrangement was already outdated by the time this appeared on LP in 1965.
