"Weird Al" Yankovic - Velvet Elvis

My life, it used to be incomplete
'Till I saw what I was looking for
On a drive-in swap meet
My life, it won't be the same again
Now I'm proud to say the King lives on
Inside my den

Ooooh
It's all I live for
It's all I need
My velvet Elvis
My velvet Elvis
My velvet Elvis means the world to me
Yo-oh
Yo-oh
Yo-o-o-oh

Although he may not be worth much dough
He means much more to me
Than some old Rembrandt or Van Gogh
Check out those sideburns, there's nothing greater
You can tell that he's no velvet Elvis imitator

Ooooh
It's all I live for
It's all I need
My velvet Elvis
My velvet Elvis
My velvet Elvis
Oh, now, can't you see?
My velvet Elvis
My velvet Elvis
My velvet Elvis means the world to me
Woooh

In my own private Graceland
In my own little shrine to the King
I don't want nothin' else
No, I don't need anything
Don't need no lava lamp
Don't need no soap on a rope
No pictures of Mexican kids
With those really big eyes
Or dogs playing Poker
Oooh

When I'm at home watching my TV
I know the King is always looking down on me
He looks so handsome, he stands so tall
So glad he's big enough to
Cover up that hole in the wall

Velvet Elvis
He's so fuzzy
Velvet Elvis
He's so great
Velvet Elvis
Never ages
Velvet Elvis
Never puts on weight
Velvet Elvis
Look at those rhinestones
Velvet Elvis
He's just so fine
Velvet Elvis
You can look, but don't touch now
Velvet Elvis
'Cause it's all mine, all mine
Woooh

@resonance2012 - No.

Hehee, I just ruined someone's joke! I'm awesome!

Sorry 'bout that.

"Now I'm proud to say the King lives on Inside my den"

I think I see a possible reference to "Midnight Star".

[S0unDOfCha0S]

This is one of my favorite Weird Al songs of all time, very well done and very underrated!

[byff2323]

Can definitely hear Syncronicity II.

[donn409]

Even Weird Al knows who "THE KING" is.

[MsRustyShackelford]

this song reminds me of listening to a cassette tape on the bus on the way to school in the morning the whole even worse tape was classic
