Elvis Has Just Left The Building
[includes a quote from Rock Of Ages (Toplady/Hastings)] [Intro: Beethovensaal, Liederhalle, Stuttgart, Germany May 24, 1988 Rest: Palasport, Genoa, Italy June 9, 1988] 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 - Songtexte(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 Aus Songtexte Mania
