Dead Elvis

Lyrics

(Wow!) I was floating through the cemetery late last night When I saw a ghost who was out of sight He said "Down in the graveyard there's a party going on So get down (Get down) Six feet and sing a spiritual song Everyone's invited We would be delighted If you'd grab your favourite corpse and came along" You don't move your arms And you don't move your legs You just do the, do the dead Elvis You don't grind your pelvis It's the dance of the dead C'mon and do the, do the dead Elvis You're old hound dog's sniffing at your tomb Tryna find a bone that ain't been consumed You can't jailhouse rock in your blue suede shoes When you do, do, do The dead Elvis I'll bet you're lonesome tonight in that hole in the ground Old Shep's so shook up that he pissed on your crown No one's crying in the chapel, get wise, get hip There's some pretty heavy shit going down and you're it Priscilla was delighted All Dallas was invited To poke fun at your corpse And kick your dog You don't move your arms And you don't move your legs You just do the, do the dead Elvis You don't grind your pelvis It's the dance of the dead C'mon and do the, do the dead Elvis It was a terrible day you had your cardiac arrest They tried to find your heart, but couldn't cut through the flesh You can't Viva Las Vegas when there's no viva left C'mon and do, do, do The dead Elvis You don't move your arms And you don't move your legs You just do the, do the dead Elvis You don't grind your pelvis It's the dance of the dead C'mon and do the, do the dead Elvis Your old hound dog's sniffing at your tomb Tryna find a bone that ain't been consumed You can't jailhouse rock in your blue suede shoes When you do, do, do The dead Elvis (You're dead!) Elvis!
