Lyrics
[Spoken Intro] Yo, Corey, man Yeah, man. What's up? I saw Elvis the other day Get outta here, man! [Verse 1] Tabloids scream "Elvis seen at a shopping mall" That's the kind of talk that makes my stomach crawl Picture a zombie Elvis in a tacky white jump suit Just imagine a rotting Elvis shopping for fresh fruit He can't 'cause [Chorus] Elvis is dead, huh, Elvis is dead, huh huh Elvis is dead, give it to me, Elvis is dead, ha Elvis is dead, Elvis is dead Elvis is dead, Elvis is dead [Verse 2] When the king died he was all alone I heard that when he died he was sittin' on his throne Alas poor Elvis, they made us know you well Now you dwell forever in that heartbreak hotel [Chorus] 'Cause Elvis is dead, (Elvis Presley) Elvis is dead Elvis is dead, Elvis is dead, give it to me (Elvis Presley) Elvis is dead, Elvis is dead (Elvis Presley) Elvis is dead, Elvis is dead, band! (Elvis Presley) "Elvis Presley!" "From rock!" "Elvis is..." [Verse 3] Elvis was a hero to most, but that's beside the point A black man taught him how to sing And then he was crowned king (Woo!) (What?) The pelvis of Elvis, too dangerous for the masses They cleaned him up and sent him to Vegas Now the masses are his slave (Slave?) Yes, slave, even from the grave Haha [Bridge] Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead (Elvis is dead) [Verse 4: Little Richard] Presley was a good performer, on stage he was electrifying When he was ill, his fans got sick and moaned when he had died To all you pimps making money on his name How do you sleep, don't you feel the shame? He went through the test, he's out of this mess Be my guest and let him rest (Repeating of "Elvis") Elvis has left the building! [Bridge] Hit me, give it to me, give it to me Listen up, hit it up [Verse 5] I've got a reason to believe we all won't be received at Graceland, well I've got a reason to believe we all won't be received at Graceland I've got a reason to believe we all won't be received at Graceland I've got a reason to believe we all won't be received at Graceland No, not you, my brother, 'cause [Chorus] Elvis is dead, huh, Elvis is dead Elvis is dead, give it to me, Elvis is dead, (Woo!) give it to me Elvis is dead, Elvis is dead, ha Elvis is dead, yeah, Elvis is dead
