"Treat Me Nice" is a song recorded by Elvis Presley for his film Jailhouse Rock (1957), in which it was featured prominently. It was also used as the B-side of the title song but was not included on the original release of the film’s soundtrack EP.
The song was later included in the musical revue Smokey Joe's Cafe, which consisted entirely of songs written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller (and occasionally other collaborators as well).
