Happy Birthday Elvis |
| Happy birthday, Elvis; |
| You’re not really dead |
| It’s a lie, it’s just a crock |
| Something some people said |
| I heard a cassette of you speaking |
| On a telephone; |
| From a bunker beneath Graceland |
| The king sits on his throne |
| Happy birthday, Elvis; |
| Fifty-eight years old today |
| It isn’t true, you didn’t die |
| No matter what they say |
| The colonel just decided |
| You should drop out of sight |
| After the Bicentennial |
| The timing was just right |
| Happy birthday, Elvis; |
| You’re alive in '93 |
| They took away the body |
| But who the hell was he? |
| Who was that tall fat man |
| They buried in your place? |
| Just another imitator; |
| Plastic surgeons did his face |
| Happy birthday, Elvis; |
| You still love to ball |
| Somebody said she spotted you |
| In a Memphis mall |
| Check out the checkout counters; |
| Read what the tabloids say: |
| Aliens abducted you |
| But somehow you got away |
| Happy birthday, Elvis; |
| I for one will not shed tears |
| You’ll be back for the millennium; |
| That’s in seven measly years |
| And if you’re blue and lonely |
| Pick up that telephone |
| Down in that bunker beneath Graceland |
| The king sits on his throne |
