OK,
I like Elvis's music as much as the next guy. The next guy that's
not camped outside Graceland right now. It occurred to me that
there is not 'Day the Music Died' kind of song commemorating
Elvis's death, so let me present a song for today.
Thirty Years Ago Today
sung to Sgt Pepper's Lonly Hearts Club Band
It was thirty years ago today,
Fat Elvis could no longer play.
He was long since out of style,
Been playin' Vegas for quite a while.
So let me say something to you,
Something we've all known for years:
Elvis Presley OD'ed on the can.
Yeah, Elvis Presley OD'ed on the can.
It wasn't much of a show.
Elvis Presley OD'ed on the can.
What a crappy way to go!
We'd like you to see Graceland,
It really is quite nice.
You're such a lovely fanbase,
You can afford the price.
Yeah, Elvis Presley OD'ed on the can.
It wasn't much of a show.
Elvis Presley OD'ed on the can.
What a crappy way to go!
Oh, Elvis Presley OD'ed,
Elvis Presley OD'ed,
Elvis Presley OD'ed on the CAN!
