Ladies and gentlemen:
|
Elvis has just left the building
|
|
Elvis has just left the building -
|
Those are his footprints, right there
|
Elvis has just left the building -
|
To climb up that heavenly stair
|
|
He gave away Cadillacs once in a while;
|
Had sex in his underpants,
|
Yes, he had style!
|
Bell-bottom jump-suits?
|
That's them in a pile,
|
But he don't need 'em now,
|
'Cause he's makin' Jesus smile!
|
|
Elvis has just left the building -
|
(There he goes!)
|
Those are his footprints, right there
|
Elvis has just left the building -
|
To climb up that heavenly stair
|
|
The Angels all love him,
|
He brings them relief
|
With droplets of moisture
|
From his handkerchief!
|
Cher'bim 'n ser'phim
|
Whizz over his head -
|
Jesus, let him come back!
|
We don't want Elvis dead!
|
|
So what if he looks like a wart-hog in heat?
|
He knows we all love him -
|
We'll just watch him eat,
|
So take down the foil
|
From his hotel retreat,
|
And bring back The King
|
For the man in the street!
|
|
Elvis has just left the building -
|
Those are his footprints, right there
|
Elvis has just left the building -
|
He's up there with Jesus, in a big purple chair
|
