A Big Hunk o' Love
Elvis Presley Lyrics
Hey baby, I ain't askin' much of you
No no no no no no no no
Baby, I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big a big a big a hunk o' love will do
Don't be a stingy little mama
You're 'bout to starve me half to death
Now you can spare a kiss or two
And still have plenty left
I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big a big a big a hunk o' love will do
That's right
You're just a natural born beehive
Filled with honey to the top
But I ain't greedy baby
All I want is all you got
Oh no no
Baby, I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big a big a big a hunk o' love will do
That's right
I got a wishbone in my pocket
I got a rabbit foot around my wrist
I'd have all of the things my lucky charms could bring
If you give me just a one sweet kiss
Oh no no no no no no no no
Baby, I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big a hunk o' hunk o' hunk o' love will do
Just a big a big a big a hunk o' love will do
Just a big a big a big a hunk o' love will do

"A Big Hunk O' Love" is part of the RCA Nashville "Dream Sessions" recorded in June 1958 while Elvis was on leave from the Army. Contrary to Elvis's usual mode of operation, the song was recorded in four takes, possibly demonstrating the urgency given the brevity of Elvis's leave. The song features Floyd Cramer on piano, Hank Garland on electric guitar, Bob Moore on bass, with rhythm guitars supplied by Elvis and Chet Atkins. D.J. Fontana and Buddy Harman play drums, and the Jordanaires sing backup.

Contrary to Elvis's usual mode of operation, the song was recorded in four takes, possibly demonstrating the urgency given the brevity of Elvis's leave. The song features Floyd Cramer on piano, Hank Garland on electric guitar, Bob Moore on bass, with rhythm guitars supplied by Elvis and Chet Atkins. D.J. Fontana and Buddy Harman play drums, and the Jordanaires sing backup. The song, timed at just 2:12, was up for two Grammy nominations but did not win either category. Nevertheless, fans and more than a few music critics rate this recording session as a moment capturing Elvis's raw energy, sex appeal, and vocal edge. Obviously, his peers in the industry agreed, having nominated his performance for Grammies in two separate categories. The single hit Number One and remained in that position for two weeks in the U.S., peaking at Number Four and remaining there after sustaining a nine-week stay in the UK. The song was first available on the famed album "50,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong."

ain't askin' much of you
No no no no no no no no baby, I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big-a big-a hunk o' love will do
Don't be a stingy little mama
You're 'bout to starve me half to death
Well you can spare a kiss or two and
Still have plenty left, no no no
Baby, I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big-a big-a hunk o' love will do
You're just a natural born beehive
Filled with honey to the top
Well I ain't greedy baby
All I want is all you got, no no no
Baby, I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big-a big-a hunk o' love will do
I got wishbone in my pocket
I got a rabbit's foot 'round my wrist
You know I'd have all the things these lucky charms could bring
If you'd give me just one sweet kiss, no no no no no no no
Baby, I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big-a big-a hunk o' love will do

That guitar solo is like a massive punch from the 1950s delivered directly to the face of modern music.
