You Are Like Elvis Lyrics

Viva, viva you

I appreciate King Presley finally when I see you and your dignity

As the carpet is jerked out from beneath you

You are like Elvis

on his last leg

sweating through his jumpsuit

knowing he would be a goner in a few days

But giving his all to the present Presley audience anyway

Viva, viva you

Long live your boots with the holes in the seams

That let water up through the soles when it rains

'cause no one is holding a spare pair for you

Long life to you

and long live the fever that's burning you clean

and long live the fate of your everworn jeans

'cause no one is holding a spare pair for you
