(Sound of wind-up gramophone band breaking)
Elvis:     "Was los?"
Musician: (Showing broken gramophone band) "Kaput!"
Elvis:    "You know this tune?"
Elvis:    "You think that you can play it on yer squeezebox?"
Musician: "Oh, ya!"
Elvis:    "What say we give it a whirl?"
Musician: "Lets' how-you-say, 'Give it a whirl'"
Elvis:    "I'll try anything, once!"

A Puppet show ensues with Elvis singing 'Wooden Heart', to a single blonde female puppet.   

(Squeeze-box over)

N/                         
Can't you see, I love you,
Please don't break my heart in two.
That's not hard to do,
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart.

And if you say "Goodbye",
Then I know that I would cry.
Maybe I would die,
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart.

BRIDGE 1:
There's no strings upon this love of mine,
It was always you from the start.

Treat me nice, treat me good,
Treat me like you really should.
'Cause I'm not made of wood,
And I don't have a wooden heart.

Muss i denn, muss i denn,
Zum Stadtele hinaus.
Stadtele hinaus,
Und du, mein schat, bleibst hier?

Muss i denn, muss i denn,
Zum Stadtele hinaus.
Stadtele hinaus,
Und du, mein schat, bleibst hier?

BRIDGE 2:
There's no strings upon this love of mine,
It was always you from the start.

Sei mir gut, Sei mir gut,
Sei mir, wie du wirklich sollst.
Wie du wirklich sollst,
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart.

CODA:(To the sound of the puppet's father, tapping Elvis' head and shoulders down and out)
    (Orchestration fades)
Elvis: "Oh-oww, Oh-oww"

(The Puppet Theatre Curtain falls) 

[End]

Notes.
1.  Apologies, if I misheard something?  Feel free to simplify and adapt, as necessary.
2.  This movie has great memories for me, of long-lost family members and young friends.  
As it was the only Elvis movie that treated him, albeit within a fictional script, 
as part of his 'own story'.  Not the unbelievable fictions of Hollywood and tinsel-town.
3. Google translate's and my bad 'best guess' at the German lyrics.  I look forward to corrections.

"Because I must, because I must,
Leave this city, leave this city.
And you, my treasure, remain here?

There's no strings upon this love of mine,
It was always you from the start.

Be good to me, Be good to me,
Be (good to) me, how you really should.
What you really should,
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart!"
