Elvis the Country Singing Owl
Elvis the owl was singing in the rain
His refrains were ridiculous.
Gloriously with a snap insane!
His boots would twirl as he sang of old
Cowboys meeting up with an alien
Who had a space heart of gold
I watched him travel from town to town
To steal hearts of the country crowd
Making Texas happy, with his whiskey sound
Barkeeps would try to extend his stay
But his voice was like silver and diamonds too
The others would complain in a casual way
He could commit murder and get away
Elvis the owl, you are the boy I never had!
Said a groupie who followed him every day
