Elvis baru saja meninggalkan gedung itu –
Those are his footprints, right there
Itu adalah jejak kakinya, di sana
Elvis has just left the building —
Elvis baru saja meninggalkan gedung itu –
To climb up that heavenly stair
Menaiki tangga sorgawi itu
He gave away Cadillacs once in a while;
Dia segera menyerahkan Cadillac sesekali;
Had sex in his underpants,
Berhubungan seks dengan celana dalamnya,
Yes, he had style!
Ya, dia punya gaya!
Bell-bottom jump-suits?
Bell-bottom jump-suit?
That’s them in a pile,
Itu mereka dalam tumpukan,
But he don’t need’em now,
Tapi dia tidak perlu sekarang,
‘Cause he’s makin’ Jesus smile!
Karena dia semakin ‘Yesus tersenyum!

With droplets of moisture

From his handkerchief!
Dari saputangannya!

We’ll just watch him eat,
Kami hanya akan melihat dia makan,
So take down the foil
Jadi ambil foilnya
From his hotel retreat,
Dari retret hotelnya,
And bring back The King
Dan bawa kembali sang raja
For the man in the street!
Bagi pria di jalanan!
