Dead Elvis Lyrics - Singles - Doug Anthony All Stars

I was floating through the cemetery late last night 

When I saw a ghost who was outta 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 grabbed your favourite corpse and came along' 

[Chorus] 

You don't move your arms and don't move your legs 

You just do the Dead Elvis 

You don't grind your pelvis it's the dance of the dead 

You just do the Dead Elvis 

Your old hound dog's sniffin' at your tomb 

Tryin' to find a bone that ain't been consumed 

You can't jailhouse rock in your blue suede shoes 

You just do (do do) the Dead Elvis 

I bet you're lonesome tonight in your hole in the ground 

Old Shep's all shook up and he's pissed on your crown 

No one's crying in the chapel, so get wise (get hip) 

There's some pretty heavy shit going down and you're it 

Priscilla was delighted 

All Dallas was invited 

To poke fun a your corpse and kick your dog 

[Chorus] 

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 

You just do do do 

The Dead Elviiiiiiiiis 

You're dead Elvis
