1: The last time I saw Elvis,
he wasn't looking all that good.
He had just come on down for breakfast
close to four in the afternoon.
He had been up all night carousing:
a lot of women, lots of booze,
& the last thing that you'd think he'd do
was stuff his pockets full of food.

2: The last time I saw Elvis,
he had been putting on the pounds.
He hadn't kept up his karate
and his body was slowing down.
And now his pompadour had fallen
like a cheap hair-weave to one side,
& his mutton-chops, 'though double thick,
were far from even in their height.

BRIDGE:
I felt so honored to be granted
a few short moments with the King,
but then, all he did was bitch & moan
& swear at the same old things:
like sons-in-law and parachutes
and rock stars with his name,
and tabloids, wives, and legal suits
cashing in on all of his fame.

INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE:

3: The last time I saw Elvis,
he had come down with a miserable cold.
And 'though his hair was Lady Clairol,
he was really looking old:
It was all those sneak appearances
in all those Cleveland shopping malls.
And the last time I saw Elvis was
just last Tuesday, after all.

CODA:
And the last time I saw Elvis was
just last Tuesday, after all.
and the last time I saw Elvis was
just last Tuesday, after all.

          "Thank you very much."

    "Ladies & Gentlemen, ... Elvis has left the building ... er, ... mall."
