She Talked About Elvis


Sorry about your life
That’s what she said
Too bad you couldn’t have been me instead
It was magic then, when it all came true
There was more to win and less to lose
To be around back in ’58
Just to see the King when he took the stage

Just gimme a juke box, that’s what I like best
Oooooooooh, she talked about Elvis

Like a Disney dream, it felt so good
And all the Grade 10 girls talked about Hollywood
From Newfoundland down to Mexico
Seems like it was just yesterday
But it was a long time ago
And what about those Cadillacs
Well you can have your computers and your computer hacks

Just give me a jukebox, that’s what I like best
Ooooooooh, she talked about Elvis

I can feel his touch
Music in the air
Fingers through my hair

Before the screech of the world hit my living room
Before 1500 watts of car stereo
Bang-da-boom- boom-boom
I wanna go back there just to live again
Like a fairy tale it was magic then

By the old jukebox that’s what I like best
Ooooooooooh, she talked about Elvis

To be around back in ’58
Just to see the king when he took the stage

Just gimme a jukebox that’s what I like best
Ooooooooh, she talked about Elvis
Oooooooooooooh…
