The Walls Have Ears

Words & Music: Roy C. Bennett/ Bob Roberts
The walls have ears, ears that hear each little sound you make
Every time you stamp through a lamp and every cup and dish you break

But they can't hear a kiss or two arms that hold you tight
So come on baby, don't fight tonight

The walls have ears, better think before you fling that shoe
If you part my hair with a chair, they'll spread the news to Timbuktu

But they can't hear a kiss or two arms that hold you tight
So come on baby, don't fight tonight

Jets can fly, fast and high, rockets can go even faster
But they can't catch or even match sound traveling through plaster

The walls have ears, ears that hear each little sound you make
Every time you stamp through a lamp and every cup and dish you break

But they can't hear a kiss or two arms that hold you tight
So come on baby, don't fight tonight
Just in tonight
Don't fight tonight
Recorded: 1962/03/27, first released on Girls! Girls! Girls!

So whats wrong with silly love songs? As someone once sang. Not my cup of tea but the movie had it's moments.

Not a song I ever play or for that matter soundtrack. The song is OK I suppose and fits the situation. The film too was watchable.

Elvis was at his vocal peak in the early 60's and most of his recordings were soundtrack rubbish such as this. What a waste.

When it comes to Elvis recordings after the army years we have studios, movie, live & some others. This is one of those movie songs, normally rubbish, but a few are either good or okay. I'll put this one in the okay bracket. Girls Lp was not a bad album as soundtracks go.

Not my type of song, but I do understand why the female audience likes Elvis act in Girls, Girls, Girls. It's one of the greatest bloopers in Presley movie career that was only reveled by the arrival of the home video.

A cute and funny song that gets unfairly blasted by some Elvis fans as one of his worst. Really??? This one is smartly written and well performed by Elvis and while not a great track, it is very listenable and featured in a good scene in the movie "Girls! Girls! Girls!" Bad songs are songs like "Barefoot Ballad", "Golden Coins" and most of the "Paradise, Hawaiian Style" LP, not this one.

Silly song, but somewhat enjoyable I guess because the lyrics are funny, but I wouldnt play this if you are trying to make a new Elvis fan. Basically a film lightweight non-entity.
