Doug Anthony All Stars - Dead Elvis lyrics

I was floating through the cemetery late last night

When I saw a ghost who was out of sight

He said, "Down in the graveyard there's a party going on

So get down, get down six feet and sing a spiritual song

Everyone's invited, we would be delighted

If you grabbed your favourite corpse and came along."

You don't move your arms and don't move your legs

You just do the, do the Dead Elvis

You don't grind your pelvis, it's the dance of the dead

You just do the, do the Dead Elvis

Your old hound dog's sniffin' at your tomb

Tryin' to find a bone that ain't been consumed

You can't jailhouse rock in your blue suede shoes

When you do, do, do - the Dead Elvis

I bet you're lonesome tonight in your hole in the ground

Old Shep's so shook up that he pissed on your crown

No one's crying in the chapel, get wise, get hip

There's some pretty heavy shit going down and you're it

Priscilla was delighted, all Dallas was invited

To poke fun a your corpse and kick your dog

You don't move your arms and don't move your legs

You just do the, do the Dead Elvis

You don't grind your pelvis, it's the dance of the dead

Come on and do the, do the Dead Elvis

It was a terrible day, when you had your cardiac arrest

They tried to find your heart but couldn't cut through the flesh

You can't Viva Las Vegas when there's no viva left

Come on and do, do, do - the Dead Elvis
