The Lyrics
Elvis lives, Elvis lives.
Ain’t parted life yet, Elvis lives.
Guy’s not yet in heaven; I’m tired of that line.
This world is still his home—his vital light shines.
The story’s unappealing—that it was his time.
Meanwhile, Las Vegas acts Elvis mime.
He’s still living!
Elvis lives, Elvis swiv-
els hips and thighs, Elvis lives.
Livin’ up north in a small undisclosed house,
living with more guys declared gone in that house.
Died? No just slipped away.
Each night they get together. Hint: one is JFK.
There’s Janis, Jimi, and Jim Morrison. Mortal, none!
I’m hot ’neath the collar
when I read that each did foller
the others to heaven, where there’s worries none.
They’re still living!
Elvis lives, Elvis lives.
Ain’t parted life yet, Elvis lives
Livin’ up north in a small undisclosed house,
living with some guys who often get quite soused.
Wine? No, much gin each day.
Ain’t parted life yet, Elvis lives.
Guy’s not yet in heaven; I’m tired of that line.
This world is still his home—his vital light shines.
The story’s unappealing—that it was his time.
Meanwhile, Las Vegas acts Elvis mime.
He’s still living!
Elvis lives, Elvis swiv-
els hips and thighs, Elvis lives.
Livin’ up north in a small undisclosed house,
living with more guys declared gone in that house.
Died? No just slipped away.
Each night they get together. Hint: one is JFK.
There’s Janis, Jimi, and Jim Morrison. Mortal, none!
I’m hot ’neath the collar
when I read that each did foller
the others to heaven, where there’s worries none.
They’re still living!
Elvis lives, Elvis lives.
Ain’t parted life yet, Elvis lives
Livin’ up north in a small undisclosed house,
living with some guys who often get quite soused.
Wine? No, much gin each day.
