"'Girls Girls Girls'", or "'Girls! Girls! Girls!'", is a song written and produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.

It was originally recorded by The Coasters, who released it as a single in July 1961. The Coasters were also the original performers of another Elvis Presley recording, "Little Egypt".

Elvis Presley recorded his version as part of the soundtrack for his 1962 motion picture of the same name. Its first LP release was on the eponymous soundtrack album in November 1962. In selected countries, it was also released on an eponymous EP.

Writing and recording history
