Lyrics

Elvis... white trash
Elvis... the memphis flash
Elvis... didn't smoke hash
Would've been a sissy without johnny cash

Elvis... didn't dodge the draft
Elvis... had his own aircraft
Elvis... having a laugh
On the lisa marie in a colour photograph

Elvis... under the hood
Elvis... with cadillac blood
Elvis... darling bud
Flowered and returned to the mississippi mud

Elvis... ain't gonna rot
Elvis... in a memphis plot
Elvis... he didn't hear the shot
And dr. king died just across the lot from..

Elvis... vanilla ice cream
Elvis... girls of fourteen
Elvis... the memphis spleen
Shooting tvs reading corinthian's 13

Elvis... with god on his knees
Elvis... owned three tvs
Here come the killer bees
Head full of honey potato chips and cheese
Elvis... the bumper stickers
Elvis... the white knickers
Elvis... the white nigger
Ate at king burger and just kept getting bigger

Elvis... sang to win
Elvis... the battle hymn
Elvis... the battle to be slim
Elvis ate america before america ate him

Elvis..

Elvis... stamps
Elvis... necromance
Elvis... fans
Elvis... psychophants
Elvis... the public enemy
Elvis... don't mean shit to chuck d
Elvis... changed the center of gravity
Made it slippy

Elvis... hitler
Elvis... nixon
Elvis... christ
Elvis... mishima
Elvis... markus
Elvis... jackson
Elvis... the pelvis
Elvis... the psalmist
Elvis... the genius
Elvis... generous
Elvis... forgive us
Elvis... pray for us
Elvis... aaron
Elvis... presley
