Elvis Presley Lyrics

Confidence
Words & Music by Sid Tepper / Roy C. Bennett 
When everyone thought the world was flat
Columbus said 'It's round'
He went down in history
And America was found
'Cause
He had confidence
A little thing called confidence
There's no job too immense when you've got
Confidence
With a 'C' and an 'O' and an 'N' and an 'F'
And an 'I' and a 'D' and an 'ENCE'
Put 'em all together and what have you got
Confidence
You'll be surprised what you can do
If you will only try
Remember the tortoise and the hare
Who had that famous race
The speedy hare wound up nowhere
And slow poke took first place
'Cause
He had confidence
A little thing called confidence
There's no job too immense when you've got
Confidence
You'll be surprised what you can do
If you will only try
How do you know that you can't ride a rainbow in the sky
You'll be surprised what you can do
If you will only try
All you need is confidence
A little thing called confidence
There's no job too immense when you've got
Confidence
With a 'C' and an 'O' and an 'N' and an 'F'
And an 'I' and a 'D' and an 'ENCE'
Put 'em all together and what have you got
Confidence
Confi ..... Confi .... Confidence
Recorded: 1967/02/22, first released on Clambake
From the movie Clambake
February 1967, Elvis buys a 163-acre ranch in Mississippi, minutes across the Tennessee state line from Graceland. He and his entourage and their wives had become interested in horseback riding after Elvis purchased a horse for Priscilla as a gift. The hobby had outgrown the pasture at Graceland. Over the months to come, Elvis and the gang will enjoy spending a lot of time at the Circle G. It becomes a happy diversion for Elvis as his frustration and unhappiness over the state of his career reaches its height.
