ladies and gentlemen:
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 -
(there he goes!)
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!
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 -
he's up there with jesus, in a big purple chair
