Everyone's talking about Elvis

Cause it seems like a thing that we do

Elvis is walking round listlessly

Seems he can't even die if he wanted to



It's a bad business to be in

You don't get thanked and you don't get paid

It's a hard world to be in with and to end with

And to think about leaving behind



Examining the body in Memphis

Waiting five hours to get into Graceland

Is this anybody's idea of a good time or a good joke

Airport biographies are usually true



The fame and fortune took it's toll

He's not the king of rock and roll anymore

He's just a junkie redneck



Pull a sheet over your head

Fold your arms across your chest

Lie back in bed

You can call from Wisconsin tomorrow



Everyone's talking about Elvis

Cause it seems like a thing that we do

Elvis is living too fat and slow now to care

What we say about him



Picking up hitch hiking Elvises

Presenting babies at the foot of his grave

He was watching TV and laughing to himself

He just had to tell someone how he did it



Elvis be good to me

Elvis be true

Elvis I love you

Elvis be true

Elvis be near me

El

Elvis come back to me

Please Elvis be kind



Everything's coming up roses

Everything's coming up Elvis

Everything's coming up roses

Everything's coming up Elvis



Elvis Elvis Elvis be true
