Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Last night, I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter that looks like Elvis
I soaked the label off a Flintstone jelly bean jar
I cleared us off a place on that one little table that you left us
And pulled me up a big ol' piece of floor
[Verse 2]
I pulled the head off Elvis
Filled Fred up to his pelvis
Yabba dabba doo, the King is gone and so are you
[Verse 3]
'Round about 10, we all got to talkin' 'bout Graceland, Bedrock and such
The conversation finally turned to women
But they said they didn't get around too much
Elvis said find 'em young and Fred said old fashioned girls are fun
Yabba dabba doo, the King is gone and so are you
[Verse 4]
Later on, it finally hit me that you wouldn't be comin' home no more
'Cause this time, I know you won't forgive me
Like all of them other times before
Then I broke Elvis's nose, pourin' the last drop from his toes
Yabba dabba doo, the King is gone and so are you
Yabba dabba doo, the King is gone and so are you
[Verse 5]
Last night, I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter that looks like Elvis
I soaked the label off a Flintstone Jelly bean jar...
