A tribute to Elvis
Rolling Stone wrote: "Gospel pervaded Elvis' character and was a defining and enduring influence all of his days."


Dedicated to Neil Young


Elvis, quite a legend
The last time I saw Elvis
He was sitting in a bar all by himself
In black shorts,
Woman came in rushing like magic,
Cause he was the king!

The last time I saw Elvis
He was in Madrid
He was in the Plaza Mayor
Everyone was shouting
Cause he was the King!

The last time I saw Elvis
He was in Paris,
In La Place de la Concord riding a pink bicycle!
Then he went to Champs Elysee
And the whole world rode along!
Cause he was the King!

Thank you very much!

The last time I saw Elvis,
He was in New York,
He was filming a short movie
And the rest is history!
Cause he was the King!

The last time I saw Elvis
He was wearing a pair of Pink Socks!
In his underwear,
A blond lady was screaming madly,
Cause he was the King!

The last time I saw Elvis
He was rockin' in London
He was in the Big Ben with his guitar
You could tell he had the feeling,
And everybody started to scream,
Cause he was the King!

The last time I saw Elvis
He was carrying his guitar
It was some kind of dream
He was walking in a garden of roses
He was painting
And you could see a blue Aura on top of his head
Cause he was the King!

The last time I saw Elvis
He was sneezing on the back of a truck!
Wind was blowing through his hair
He wanted to go back and kick ass!
Cause he was the King!

The last time I saw Elvis
He was wearing a pink Boss suit
With purple glasses,
He was going to Court
And everyone was chearing him,
Cause he was the King!

The last time I saw Elvis,
He was listening to his iPod
And everyone wondered what he was listening to,
Cause he was the King!

The last time I saw Elvis,
He was in Buenos Aires,
And everyone wondered what he was doing there,
He was just an idol!
Cause he was the King!

The last time I saw Elvis
He was in Rome,
A group of Nuns were chanting one of his songs,
Cause he was the King!

The last time I saw Elvis,
He was writing a letter,
The sound of his voice was deep and sad,
Everyone was waiting for it to be published
And the rest is history!
Cause he was the King!
