Elvis Has Just Left the Building

From: Frank Zappa

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 making 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 angles all love him,
He brings them relief,
With droplets of moisture,
From his handkerchief!
Cher'bin and Ser'phim
Whizz over his head -
Jesus, let him come back!
We don't want Elvis dead!

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

So what if he looks like a wart hog in heat,
He knows that 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,
He's up there with Jesus in a big purple chair.
