Lyrics
I was floating through the cemetery late last night
When I saw a ghost who was out of 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'd grab your favourite corpse and came along"
You don't move your arms and you don't move your legs
You just a-do the, do the dead Elvis
You don't grind your pelvis
It's the dance of the dead
C'mon and do the, do the dead Elvis
You're old hound dog's sniffing at your tomb
Tryna find a bone that ain't been consumed
You can't jailhouse rock in your blue suede shoes
When you do, do, do the dead Elvis
I'll bet you're lonesome tonight in that hole in the ground
Old Shep's so shook up that he pissed on your crown
No one's crying in the chapel, 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 at your corpse and kick your dog
You don't move your arms and you don't move your legs
You just do the, do the dead Elvis (Ashes!)
You don't grind your pelvis
It's the dance of the dead
C'mon and do the, do the dead Elvis
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
C'mon and do, do, do the dead Elvis (You're dead!)
