I was thinking that night about Elvis | |
Day that he died, day that he died | |
I was thinking that night about Elvis | |
Day that he died, day that he died | |
Just a country boy that combed his hair | |
And he put on a shirt his mother made and went on the air | |
And he shook it like a chorus girl | |
And he shook it like a Harlem queen | |
He shook it like a midnight rambler, baby, | |
Like you never seen | |
I was thinking that night about Elvis | |
Day that he died, day that he died | |
I was thinking that night about Elvis | |
Day that he died, day that he died | |
How he took it all out of black and white | |
Grabbed his wand in the other hand and he held on tight | |
And he shook it like a hurricane | |
He shook it like to make it break | |
And he shook it like a holy roller, baby | |
With his soul at stake | |
I was thinking that night about Elvis | |
Day that he died, day that he died | |
I was thinking that night about Elvis | |
Day that he died, day that he died | |
He was all alone in a long decline | |
Thinking how happy John Henry was that he fell down and died | |
When he shook it and he rang like silver | |
He shook it and he shine like gold | |
He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby | |
Well bless my soul | |
Bless My Soul | |
I was thinking that night about Elvis | |
The Day that he died |
