| Lyrics |
I was floating through the cemetery late last night
When I saw a ghost who was outta 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'[
Chorus] You don't move your arms and don't move your legs You just do the Dead Elvis You don't grind your pelvis it's the dance of the dead You just 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
You just do (do do) the Dead Elvis
I bet you're lonesome tonight in your hole in the ground
Old Shep's all shook up and he's pissed on your crown
No one's crying in the chapel, so 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
[
Chorus]
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
You just do do do
The Dead Elviiiiiiiiis
You're dead Elvis
