I can see Elvis... skinny like he was... back in fifty-seven 

razor-quiffed and leather-squeezed... sideburns flickering in the breeze 

that blows across the vale of heaven   (riff) 

I can see Elvis... throned like a king... astride a golden Harley 

smoking a reefer he just rolled... full of acapulco gold 

with Hendrix, Dean and Marley    (riff) 

I can see Elvis(doo-wap) prowling like a cat(doo-wap) 

across a funky bandstand (doo-wap) 

Keith Moon behind him banging drums (doo-wap) 

Charlie Parker all thumbs (doo-wap) 

John Lennon doing handstands (doo-wap) (riff)(doo-wap)

I can see Elvis... talking philosophy and law 

with Joan Of Arc and Plato 

quizzing Shakespeare on his plays 

showing Crazy Horse and Marvin Gaye 

how to dance the mashed potato (riff) 

I can see Elvis  (doo-wap) 

high and low and high  (doo-wap) 

and low and high he s hunting  (doo-wap) 

looking for a special prey  (doo-wap) 

who only just arrived up here today  (doo-wap) 

break out the bunting  (doo-wap) (riff) (doo-wap) 

          (mute)                        

I can see Elvis... he s writin  something down 

in a litle leather journal 

and here are all the words he wrote: 

                                                              (riff) 

"I am gonna slit the throat of that skinflint, the Colonel" 

            (riff)          (riff)             (riff) 

I can see Elvis... I can see Elvis... I can see Elvis... 

            (riff)          (riff)             (riff) 

I can see Elvis... I can see Elvis... I can see Elvis... Elvis... Elvis
