Chesay
Elvis Presley · Frankie and Johnny/Paradise Hawaiian Style
Magic I think so I just say chesay
Chesay, chesay bring you good luck night and day
Chesay, chesay thatÂ’s the gypsy way
Trouble is my middle name, though itÂ’s such a crying shame
Try and try thereÂ’s nothing I can do
But IÂ’m feeling kinda strange, feel like things are going to change
Time my lucky star was shining through
Chesay, chesay bring you good luck night and day
Chesay, chesay thatÂ’s the gypsy way
Drink a cup of gypsy love just tip it up and then you just say chesay
Swallow once then swallow twice, goes down so nice just say chesay. hey!
WhatÂ’s in the drink, chase the devil away
Magic I think so I just say chesay
Chesay, chesay bring you good luck night and day
Chesay, chesay thatÂ’s the gypsy way
Chesay, chesay brings you good luck night and day
Chesay, chesay thatÂ’s the gypsy way
Chesay, chesay brings you good luck night and day
Chesay, chesay thatÂ’s the gypsy way

Elvis Presley's "Chesay" stands as a rare and haunting song in his discography, characterized by its minimalist arrangement and haunting vocal delivery. Recorded for the album "Frankie and Johnny/Paradise Hawaiian Style," the track diverges from the artist's typical rock and roll or pop standards, instead adopting a somber, almost folk-inflected tone that highlights his emotional range. The song's sparse instrumentation allows Presley's voice to take center stage, creating an intimate atmosphere that contrasts sharply with the upbeat tracks often associated with his career. While not a chart-topping hit in the same vein as his major commercial successes, "Chesay" remains a significant piece of his catalog, showcasing a side of the King that is introspective and understated. It serves as a testament to his versatility as a performer, capable of delivering profound emotion even within a simple musical framework.
