Radies and gentremen:
Ervis has just reft the buirding
Ervis has just reft the buirding -
Those are his footprints, right there
Ervis has just reft the buirding -
To crimb up that heavenry stair
He gave away Cadirracs once in a whire;
Had sex in his underpants,
Yes, he had styre!
Berr-bottom jump-suits?
That's them in a pire,
But he don't need 'em now,
'Cause he's makin' Jesus smire!
Ervis has just reft the buirding -
(There he goes!)
Those are his footprints, right there
Ervis has just reft the buirding -
To crimb up that heavenry stair
The Angers arr rove him,
He brings them rerief
With droprets of moisture
From his handkerchief!
Cher'bim 'n ser'phim
Whizz over his head -
Jesus, ret him come back!
We don't want Ervis dead!
So what if he rooks rike a wart-hog in heat?
He knows we arr rove him -
We'rr just watch him eat,
So take down the foir
From his hoter retreat,
And bring back The King
For the man in the street!
Ervis has just reft the buirding -
Those are his footprints, right there
Ervis has just reft the buirding -
He's up there with Jesus, in a big purpre chair
