From the recording Diane Cluck
Lyrics
viva ! viva you.
i appreciate king presley finally
when i see you and your dignity
as the carpet is jerked out from beneath you
you are like elvis on his last legs
sweating through his jumpsuit
knowing he would be a goner in a few days
but giving his all to the present presley audience, anyway
viva, viva you
and long live your boots with the holes at the seams
that let water up through the soles when it rains
cuz no one is holding a spare pair for you
long life to you
and long live the fever that's burning you clean
and long live the fade of your everworn jeans
cuz no one is holding a spare pair for you
