Black Velvet Elvis
Music and lyrics: Dirk Kroll

You never asked me how I liked it
You never cared for my point of view
I’m getting tired of this, baby
I’m taking Elvis o the wall
I know you think that you saw him
Way up in Kalamazoo
Just what did he look like?
And what kind of fool are you?

Well, I know I loved him so
He was the king of rock ’n’ roll

In the National Enquirer
Read on in People Magazine
He loved his speed and his downers
Oh no, not that mescaline!
Who are these people camped on my front lawn
A crazy look in their eyes!
You better do some explaining soon
I’ll show them pictures how he died

Well, I know I loved him so
He was the king of rock ’n’ roll
Black Velvet Elvis

Rap...

Somebody give me a shout out
Colonel Parker
Tom Parker
He’ll buy you a Cadillac
He’ll get you a Cadillac
Peanut butter banana sandwiches
Cadillac!
Colonel Parker

I ain’t nothing but your hound dog
Your’e my Heartbreak Hotel
Come on, I’ll be your hunk of burning love
Do you think Elvis will tell?
Return my letter to sender
Come on and don’t be cruel
Try and love me tender, yeah yeah
Because teddy bears aren’t the rule
Well, I know I loved him so

He was the king of rock ’n’ roll
Well, I know I loved him so
He was the king of rock ’n’ roll
Black Velvet Elvis

Black Velvet Elvis
Black Velvet Elvis
Black Velvet Elvis
