Dead Elvis lyrics

I was floating through the cemetery late last night,
When I saw a ghost who was out of sight.
He said `Down in the graveyard there`s a party going on,
So get down, get down, six feet and sing a spiritual song.
Everyone`s invited, we would be delighted,
If you`d grab your favorite corpse and come along.`

You don`t move your arms and you don`t move your legs,
You just do the do the dead Elvis.
You don`t grind your pelvis,
It`s the dance of the dead,
C`mon and do the do the dead Elvis.

You`re old hound dog`s sniffing at your tomb,
Trying to find a bone that ain`t been consumed.
You can`t jailhouse rock in your blue suede shoes,
When you do do do the dead Elvis.

I`ll bet you`re lonesome tonight in your hole in the ground,
Old Shep`s so shook up that he pissed on your crown.
No one`s crying in the chapel, get wise, get hip,
There`s some pretty heavy shit going down- YOU`RE IT!
Priscilla was delighted, all Dallas was invited,
To poke fun at your corpse and kick your dog.

You don`t move your arms and you don`t move your legs,
You just do the do the dead Elvis.
It was a terrible day when you had your cardiac arrest,
They tried to find your heart but couldn`t cut through the flesh.
You can`t Viva Las Vegas when there`s no viva left,
C`mon and do do do the dead Elvis.
