Frank Zappa - Elvis Has Just Left The Building Lyrics




[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 -

(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
