"The Next Time I Saw Elvis" lyrics

"The Next Time I Saw Elvis"

Shared a coke with Elvis
Outside the Hollywood soda store
His hair was fallin' into his eyes, man
The way all the girls adore
He said "I'm worried about this movie script, man
See, I ain't never hit a woman before"

I said, "don't you worry, cowboy
You don't have to really make contact
They cut it in the editing room
Add some sound effects
All you gotta do is act"
He looked at me like I was some kind of thief
And that's a fact

The next time I saw Elvis
He was perfumed, oiled and fancy-dressed
I watched six women go in and out of his hotel room, one by one
Asked him, "did you fuck them all?" he said
"Hell yes"
I said, "how do you keep it up man?"
He said, "well, they all different
I guess"
