Velvet Elvis

Lyrics

I went to a rummage sale On some old lady's lawn I got there kinda late Almost everything she had was gone I sifted through the rummage Who knows what luck could bring? And then I nearly died Right there on black velvet was the King I saw that velvet Elvis, and I want it on my wall It'd be my prized possession, my favorite one of all People would come from miles around, probably get real jealous I'd be the first one on my block to have a velvet Elvis My pulse, it started racing Sweat poured from my forehead I must make up my mind Will I buy it or steal it instead? I checked my empty pockets I knew what must be done I won't leave empty handed Old ladies aren't too fast when they run I stole that velvet Elvis, and I put it on my wall It's my prized possession, my favorite one of all People come from miles around Damn, they get so jealous I'm the first one on my block to have a velvet Elvis [Spoken] Man, this is gonna be great. I'm gonna hang it over the TV, right between the lava lamps. And then I'm gonna get some Naugahyde bean bag chairs, put beaded curtains in the doorways, yeah. Then I'm gonna burn the candle to the Sangria bottle and let the wax drip down. It looks real classy. I'll have a party, and I'll invite all my friends
