The King Is Gone (So Are You)

(Roger Ferris)



Last night I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter

That looks like Elvis

I soaked the label off a Flintstone Jelly Bean jar

I cleared us off a place on that

One little table that you left us

And pulled me up a big ole piece of floor.



I pulled the head off Elvis

Filled Fred up to his pelvis

Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone

And so are you.



'Round about ten we all got to talking

'Bout Graceland, Bedrock and such

The conversation finally turned to women

But they said they didn't get around too much

Elvis said, "Find 'em young."

And Fred said, "Old Fashioned girls are fun."

Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone

And so are you.



Later on it finally hit me

That you wouldn't be 'a comin' home no more

'Cause this time I know you won't forgive me

Like all of them other times before

Then I broke Elvis's nose

Pouring the last drop from his toes

Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone

And so are you.

Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone

And so are you.



Last night I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter
