Frank Zappa Elvis Has Just Left The Building Lyrics

Elvis Has Just Left The Building Lyrics

Elvis has just left the building --
Those are his footprints, right there
Elvis has just left the building --
To climb up that heavenly stair

He gave away cadillacs once in a while;
Had sex in his underpants,
Yes, he had style!
Bell-bottom jump-suits? 
That’s them in a pile,
But he don’t need’em now,
’cause he’s makin’ jesus smile!

Elvis has just left the building --
Those are his footprints, right there
Elvis has just left the building --
To climb up that heavenly stair

The angels all love him,
He brings them relief
With droplets of moisture
From his handkerchief!
Cher’bim ’n ser’phim
Whizz over his head --
Jesus, let him come back!
We don’t want elvis dead.

So what if he looks like a wart-hog in heat? 
He knows we all love him --
We’ll just watch him eat,
So take down the foil
From his hotel retreat,
And bring back the king
For the man in the street!

Elvis has just left the building --
Those are his footprints, right there
Elvis has just left the building --
To climb up that heavenly stair
He’s up there with jesus, in a big purple chair
