Elvis Has Just Left The Building

(album: Broadway The Hard Way - 1988)

[includes a quote from Rock Of Ages (Toplady/Hastings)]

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 making 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
