Lyrics
Well, wake up pretty Mama and hear what I'm sayin'
You gotta stop them non-stop Elvis records you keep playin'
Take off your headphones, Baby, and pay a little mind to me
Elvis has left, but he's livin' in your memory
It's Love Me Tender ev'ry mornin', Don't Be Cruel ev'ry night
Hound Dog while we're makin' love, you know that ain't right
I'm All Shook Up and, Mama, that ain't all right with me
Elvis has left the building
Elvis has left the building
Elvis has left, and all ya got left is me
Alright
Well, I can twirl my hips (He can twirl those hips)
And I can curl my lips (He can curl that lip)
I can squint my eye, (Yeah), quiver my voice
C'mon, Baby, you ain't got no choice
Alright, um-um-um-um
I don't want your Money Honey, won't be your Teddy Bear
But I'll love you so tender, you'll swear the King is there
I'll buy some Blue Suede Shoes, tight pipe jeans
I'll eat them jelly doughnuts till I bust at the seams
Oh, Baby, wake up to reality
Elvis has left the building
Elvis has left the building
Elvis has left the building
But you can't see
Elvis has left, and all ya got left is me
Thank ya v'ry much
