Title: 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 —
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.
Elvis has just left the building —
Those are his footprints, right there
Elvis has just left the building —
To climb up that heavenly stair
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 —
To climb up that heavenly stair
He’s up there with Jesus, in a big purple chair
