verse 1
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
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, like you never seen, never seen
Instrumental
verse 2
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, with his soul at stake, soul at stake
Instrumental
verse 3
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 it rang like silver
He shook it and it shine like gold
He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
And he blessed my soul, were you long with me
And mentioned like a man on a fuzzy dream, a fuzzy dream, fuzzy dream
Instrumental
Outro
And he shook it and it rang like silver
And he shook it and it shined like gold
He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
And he blessed my soul, yes he blessed my soul, blessed my soul
