About The Song
The song was originally recorded on April 27, 1960, at RCA’s Hollywood studios, but that version was not used for the film or on record. It finally appeared on the 1980 LP Elvis Aron Presley. The version that was used in the film and on record was recorded at Radio Recorders on May 6, 1960. Take #7 was selected by RCA for release. The film version had added horns.
Late April, 1960 – Elvis begins filming and recording for his first post-army movie, his fifth film, GI Blues for Paramount, the first of nine to be produced (not consecutively) by Hal Wallis’.

Lyric
You got the huggin’est arms
The thrillin’est eyes
You’re just my style
And you’re just the right size
Gonna stop
Uh, shoppin’ around
I’m gonna stop
Shoppin’ around ’cause i found the girlie i’m lookin’ for
Oh, the very first time
You touched my lips
Took my little red book
And tore it to bits
Ain’t gonna be
Searchin’ no more
I’m gonna stop
Shoppin’ around ’cause i found the girlie i’m lookin’ for
Ain’t no other dolly i’m wantin’ to hold
Hey, hey, baby
I really am sold on you
Ooh, ooh, such a pretty little package
I never did see
Gonna wrap you up and take you home with me
I’m thrilled like never before
I’m gonna stop
Shoppin’ around ’cause i found the girlie i’m lookin’ for
Ain’t no other dolly i’m wantin’ to hold
Hey, hey, baby
I really am sold on you
Ooh, ooh, such a pretty little package
I never did see
Gonna wrap you up and take you home with me
I’m thrilled like never before
I’m gonna stop
Shoppin’ around ’cause i found the girlie i’m lookin’ for
I’m gonna stop
Uh shoppin’ around
I’m gonna stop
Uh shoppin’ around
I’m gonna stop
Shoppin’ around
