Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Calling Elvis

Is anybody home?

Calling Elvis

I'm here all alone

Did he leave the buildin'?

Can he come to the phone?

Calling Elvis

I'm here all alone

[Verse 2]

Yeah, tell him I was callin'

To wish him well

Let me leave my number

Heartbreak Hotel

Oh, love me tender

Baby, don't be cruel

Return to sender

Treat me like a fool

[Verse 3]

Calling Elvis

Is anybody home?

Calling Elvis

I'm here all alone

Did he leave the buildin'?

Can he come to the phone?

Calling Elvis

I'm here all alone, alright

[Verse 4]

Why don't you go get him?

I'm his biggest fan

Yeah, you gotta tell him

He's still the man

A long distance, baby

So far from home

Yeah, don't you think maybe

You could put him on?

Tell him I was callin'

To wish him well

Let me leave my number

Heartbreak Hotel

Yeah, love me tender

Baby, don't be cruel

Return to sender

Treat me like a fool

[Verse 5]

Calling Elvis

Hey, calling Elvis

I'm here all alone, alright

[Verse 6]

Here all alone

Did he leave the building?

Can he come to the phone?

Yeah, calling Elvis

I'm here all alone, yeah
