[Intro]
E A G E
[Verse]
E A G E
Happy birthday, Elvis
A G E
You're not really dead
A G E
It's a lie, it's just a crock
Something some people said
A D C A
I heard a cassette of you speaking
On a telephone
B
From a bunker beneath Graceland
A E A G E
The king sits on his throne
E A G E
Happy birthday, Elvis
A G E
Fifty-eight years old today
A G E
It isn't true, you didn't die
No matter what they say
A D C A
The colonel just decided
You should drop out of sight
B
After the Bicentennial
A E A G E
The timing was just right
[Chorus]
A
Happy birthday, Elvis
You're alive in '93
E
They took away the body
But who the hell was he?
A
Who was that tall fat man
They buried in your place?
B
Just another imitator
Plastic surgeons did his face
[Verse]
E A G E
Happy birthday, Elvis
A G E
You still love to ball
A G E
Somebody said she spotted you
In a Memphis mall
A D C A
Check out the checkout counters
Read what the tabloids say
B
Aliens abducted you
A E
But somehow you got away
E A G E
Happy birthday, Elvis
A G E
I for one will not shed tears
A G E
You'll be back for the millennium
That's in seven measly years
A D C A
And if you're blue and lonely
Pick up that telephone
B
Down in that bunker beneath Graceland
A E
The king sits on his throne
B
In a bunker beneath Graceland
A E A G E
The king sits on his throne
