ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING rockabilly song lyrics by Joel Sattler

 

Well, they try to tell me

Elvis has left the building

but I can still feel

the Holy Ghost of Rock and Roll

They try to keep on saying

Elvis has left the building

but I know events

have gotten out of control

The King has left

come and gone

but no matter what

I still hear the song 

and even though he's gone

I still gotta carry on

 

They keep on telling me

straighten up and fly right

but I gotta keep dancing

dancing all night long

they keep on telling me

that I gotta do right

but I gotta keep dancing

even if it's wrong

Elvis had the gift

Elvis had the touch

and I gotta say thank you

thank you very much

even if the Beatles

never do reunite

 

Buddy Holly's flown

and Little Richard's talking dirty

they say Chuck Berry's

got ants in his pants

they say the Rolling Stones

you know them boys are purty

they say Jimi Hendrix

never had a chance

but Janis Joplin

Kurt Cobain too

Bobby Dylan

they did it all for you

and Rock will never die

but still I gotta dance!

 

Well they try to tell me

that Elvis has left the building

but Elvis is never gone

let me make it clear

Well they try to keep telling me

Elvis has left the building

and although it may be so

here is something weird:

all that I know

it's gotta have some soul

and if it doesn't rock

then it's gotta roll

and Elvis is in my heart

the King is always here
