The Night I Saw Elvis
(Really)
(Lyrics ©1979)
It was a hot summer night
around the 4th of July
when I saw something strange
comin' out of the sky
It was glowin' like a Senator
who was takin' a bribe
when it landed on the ground
thought I was about to die.
Out stepped a man,
wearin' his shades
I'd seen him before
in my younger days
His hair all slicked back
gyratin' his pelvis
I said Holy Jumpin' Possums!
it's Elvis!
So I took another pull of that ol' Jimmy Beam -
(just to make sure that it wasn't a dream)
I said a bless my soul what's a wrong with me?
I'm itchin like a man on a fuzzy tree
My dog thinks I'm actin' wild as a bug
And it ain't love...
...I'm all f---ed up.
He jumped and he danced and he shook all around
a rockabilly band was earthquakin' the ground
he sang that one for the money and Heartbreak Hotel
I threw away my jug, then I tripped and I fell.
When they found me the next day.
no one was there
just me and my dog
and a hungover bear.
Now some people say
it was only a dream
and others they say
it was the ol' Jimmy Beam
But there's just one thing
that they can't explain
about what I found
when I woke up in the rain
If it was a dream, or too much booze...
just where in the heck did I get these blue suede shoes?!?
And notice how Elvis/Lives have the exact same letters?
More proof.
