Calling elvis - is anybody home
Calling elvis - I'm here all alone
Did he leave the building
Or can he come to the phone
Calling elvis - I'm here all alone

Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well
Let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel
Oh love me tender - baby dob't be cruel
Return to sender - treat me like a fool

Calling elvis - is anybody home
Calling elvis - I'm here all alone

Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say
Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
Down in the tunnels trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day

He do the song about the sweet loving woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life

If we can't get along we oughta be apart
And I'm wondering where'd you get that cold, cold heart
Set me free, sign my release
I'm tired of being the villain of the peace

You been giving me a bad time
Tell me what I'd do
How come I always get a hard time
Honey when it comes to you
Sayin' things that you didn't have to
How come I always get a hard time
Honey when it comes to you

I wonder where you are tonight
You're probably on the rampage somewhere
You have been known to take delight
In gettin' in somebody's hair
You always had the knack
Fade to black

I bet you already made a pass
I see a darkened room somewhere
You run your finger round the rim of his glass
Run your fingers through his hair
They scratch across his back
Fade to black

Well maybe it's all for the best

Well it's a strange old game, you learn it slow
One step forward and it's back to go
You're standing on the throttle
You're standing on the breaks
In the groove 'til you make a mistake

Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you are the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby
Sometimes you're the ball

Will you and your friend come around
Are you and your friend gonna get on down
Will you and your friend come around
Or are you and your friend gonna let me down

If you talk to one another
I'm a hungry man
Let me know one way or the other
So I can make my plans

Will you and your friend come around
Or are you and your friend gonna get on down
Will you and your friend come around

Last time I was sober, man I felt bad
Worst hangover that I ever had
It took six hamburgers and scotch all night
Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right

'Cos if you wanna run cool, if you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool, you got to run
On any heavy fuel, any heavy fuel, any heavy fuel

My life makes perfect sense
Lust and food and violence
Sex and money are my major kicks

With all the clarity of dream
The sky so blue, the grass so green
The rank and file and the navy blue
The deep and strong, the straight and true

The blue line they got the given sign
The belts and boots marched forward in time
The wood and the leather the club and shield
Swept like a wave across the battlefield

Now with all the clarity of dream
The blood so red, the grass so green

I can see what you're looking to find in the smile on my face
In my peace of mind, in my state of grace
I send what I can to the man from the ministry
He's a part of heaven's plan and he talks to me

Now I send what I can to the man with the diamond ring
He's a part of heaven's plan and he sure can sing
Now it's all I can afford but the lord has sent me eternity

Well this is my back yard, my back gate
I hate to start my parties late
Here's the party cart, ain't that great
That ain't the best part baby, just wait
That a genuine weathervane, it moves with the breeze
Portable hammok, baby, who needs trees
It's casual entertaining, we aim to please
At my parties

Check out the shingles, it's brand new
Excuse me while I mingle, hi, how are you

Standin' on the corner of toulouse and dauphine
Waitin' on marie-ondine
I'm tryin' to place a tune under a louisiana moonbeam
On the planet of new orleans
In a bar they call the saturn
And in her eyes of green ain't somethin' that she said in a dream
Inside of my suit I got my mojo root and a true love figurine
For the planet of new orleans

New orleans, the other planet with other life upon it

How long, how long baby
How long has it been
How long you gonna keep me wondering
How long before you see
Stallin' me was wrong, how long

How long, how long you gonna keep
Slappin' my hands away
How long you gonna keep my love at bay
How long before you're sure
My love is strong, how long

How long, how long you gonna keep
Tellin' me you like me fine
How long until I'm gonna make you mine

How long, how long baby
How long has it been
How long you gonna keep me wondering
How long before you see
Stallin' me was wrong - how long

How long, how long you gonna keep
Slappin' my hands away
How long you gonna keep my love at bay
How long before you're sure
My love is strong - how long

How long, how long you gonna keep
Tellin' me you like me fine
How long until I'm gonna make you mine

Well it's a strange old game - you learn it slow
One step forward and it's back to go
You're standing on the throttle
You're standing on the breaks
In the groove 'til you make a mistake

Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the louisville slugger
Sometimes you're the ball
