Everyone's talking 'bout Elvis
Cause it seems like the 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

Finding 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
Fame and fortune took it's toll
He's not the king or rock and roll anymore
He's just a junkie redneck

Threw a sheet over your head
Fold your arms across your chest
Lie back in bed, you can call folks constantly tomorrow
Oh, everyone's talking 'bout 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 hitchhiking Elvises
Christening babies at the foot of his grave
He watching tv and laughing to himself
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
Elvis be mine
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
