I Can See Elvis |
| I can see Elvis |
| skinny like he was back in fifty-seven |
| razor-quiffed and leather-squeezed |
| sideburns flickering in the breeze |
| that blows across the vales of heaven |
| I can see Elvis |
| throned like a king astride a golden Harley |
| smoking a reefer he just rolled |
| full of acapulco gold |
| with Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley |
| I can see Elvis |
| prowling like a cat across a funky bandstand |
| Keith Moon behind him banging drums |
| Charlie Parker all thumbs |
| John Lennon doing handstands |
| I can see Elvis |
| talking philosophy and law with Joan of Arc and Plato |
| quizzing Shakespeare on his plays |
| showing Crazy Horse and Marvin Gaye |
| how to dance the mashed potato |
| I can see Elvis |
| high and low and high and low and high he’s hunting |
| looking for a special prey |
| who just arrived up here today |
| break out the bunting |
| I can see Elvis |
| he’s writing something down in a little leather journal |
| and here are all the words he wrote |
| «I am gonna slit the throat |
| of that skinflint, the Colonel» |
| I can see Elvis… |
