[Frank Zappa - Elvis Has Just Left the Building lyrics]
Ladies and Gentleman
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-suit's?
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 -
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
Elvis has just left the building -
Those are his footprints, right there
Elvis has just left the building -
To climb up that heavenly stair
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 -
To climb up that heavenly stair
He's up there with Jesus
In a big purple chair
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-suit's?
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 -
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
Elvis has just left the building -
Those are his footprints, right there
Elvis has just left the building -
To climb up that heavenly stair
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 -
To climb up that heavenly stair
He's up there with Jesus
In a big purple chair
