Lyrics

I was thinking that night about Elvis Day that he died Day that he died I was thinking that night about Elvis Day that he died Day that he died Just a country boy that combed his hair Put on the shirt his mother made And he went on the air And he shook it like a chorus girl And he shook it like a Harlem queen He shook it like a midnight rambler baby Like you never seen Like you never seen Never seen I was thinking that night about Elvis Day that he died Day that he died I was thinking that night about Elvis Day that he died Day that he died That he took it all out of black and white Grabbed it in one then the other hand And he held on tight And he shook it like a hurricane He shook it like to make it break And he shook it like a holy roller baby With his soul at stake With his soul at stake Soul at stake I was thinking that night about Elvis Day that he died Day that he died I was thinking that night about Elvis Day that he died Day that he died He was all alone in the long decline Thinking how happy John Henry was That he fell down dying When he shook it and it rang like silver He shook it and it shined like gold He shook it and he beat that steam drill baby Well a bless my soul Well a bless my soul He shook it and he beat that steam drill baby Well bless my soul what's wrong with me I was thinking that night about Elvis Day that he died Day that he died I was thinking that night about Elvis Day that he died Day that he died Just a country boy that combed his hair Put on the shirt his mother made And he went on the air And he shook it like a chorus girl And he shook it like a Harlem queen He shook it like a midnight rambler baby Like you never seen Never seen Like you never seen Never seen
