Elvis has just left the building --

Those are his footprints, right there

Elvis has just left the building --

To climb up that heavenly stair





He gave away Cadillacs once in a while;

Had sex in his underpants,

Yes, he had style!

Bell-bottom jump-suits?

That's them in a pile,

But he don't need'em now,

'Cause he's makin' Jesus smile!





Elvis has just left the building --

Those are his footprints, right there

Elvis has just left the building --

To climb up that heavenly stair





The Angels all love him,

He brings them relief

With droplets of moisture

From his handkerchief!

Cher'bim 'n ser'phim

Whizz over his head --

Jesus, let him come back!

We don't want Elvis dead.





Elvis has just left the building --

Those are his footprints, right there

Elvis has just left the building --

To climb up that heavenly stair





So what if he looks like a wart-hog in heat?

He knows we all love him --

We'll just watch him eat,

So take down the foil

From his hotel retreat,

And bring back The King

For the man in the street!





Elvis has just left the building --

Those are his footprints, right there

Elvis has just left the building --

To climb up that heavenly stair

He's up there with Jesus, in a big purple chair
