who sings the song i smell trouble he spells out trouble during the song

Answer
Hello Andrew,

"T-R-O-U-B-L-E" was an Elvis Presley song from 1975. Travis Tritt recorded a cover version in 1993.

T-R-O-U-B-L-E (words & music by Jerry Chesnut)

I play an old piano from nine to half past one
Tryin' to make a livin' watchin' everybody else have fun
I don't miss much that ever happens on a dance hall floor
Mercy, look what just walked through that door

Well, hello T-R-0-U-B-L-E
What in the world you doin' A-L-O-N-E?
Say, hey good L-double O-K-I-N-G
I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E

I was a little bitty baby when my Papa hit the skids
Mama had a time tryin' to raise nine kids
Told me not to stare 'cause it was impolite
And did the best she could to try to raise us right

But Mama never told me 'bout nothing like a Y-O-U
Say, your mama must have been a little something or other too
Say, hey good L-double O-K-I-N-G
I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E

Well, you talk about a woman, I've seen a lot of others
But too much something' and not enough another
You've got it all together like a lovin' machine
You're lookin' like glory and walkin' like a dream

Mother Nature's sure been good to Y-O-U
And your Mama must have been another good lookin' mother too
Say, hey, good L-double O-K-I-N-G
I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E

Well, you talk about a trouble-makin' hunk o' pokey bait
That men are gonna love and all the women gonna hate
Reminding them of everything they're never gonna be
Maybe the beginning of World War Three

Oh, the world ain't ready for nothin' like a Y-O-U
Well, I bet your mama must have been a good lookin' mother
too

Say, hey good L-double O-K-I-N-G
I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E-EE-EE-EEEEEE


Glad to be of help. Cheers.......Mel.
