Lyrics

[Verse 1]

This song we're all gonna do for you now

This may be the best song you ever heard in your whole life

Then again, it may not be

[Verse 2]

Last night I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter

That looks like Elvis

Soaked the label off a Flintstone jelly jar

Picked me up a place

At the little table that you left us

Pulled me up a big old hunk of floor

[Verse 3]

I pulled the head off Elvis

Filled Fred up to his pelvis

[Verse 4]

Yabba dabba doo, the King is gone

And so are you

Yabba dabba doo, the King is gone

And so are you

[Verse 5]

Along about ten, we all got to talking

About Graceland, Bedrock, and such

The conversation finally turned to women

But they said they didn't get around too much

[Verse 6]

Elvis said, "Find 'em young"

Fred said, "Old-Fashioned women are fun"

[Verse 7]

Yabba dabba doo, the King is gone

And so are you

Yabba dabba doo, the King is gone

And so are you

[Verse 8]

Well, I broke Presley's nose

Pouring the last drop from his toes

Fred was rolling on the floor

Then I let us drink

In perfect harmony

[Verse 9]

Yabba dabba doo, the King is gone

And so are you

Yabba dabba doo, the King is gone

And so are you

[Verse 10]

One more

Yabba dabba doo, the King is gone

And so are you

[Verse 11]

Two more

Yabba dabba doo, the King is gone

And so are you

[Verse 12]

I told you
