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
