Bell-bottom jump-suits? That's them in a pile But he don't need'em now 'Cause he's makin' Jesus smile! Elvis has just left the building -- Those are his footprints, right there Elvis has just left the building --
To climb up that heavenly stair The Angels all love him He brings them relief With droplets of moisture From his handkerchief! Cher'bim 'n ser'phim Whizz over his head -- Jesus, let him come back! We don't want Elvis dead Elvis has just left the building -- Those are his footprints, right there Elvis has just left the building -- To climb up that heavenly stair So what if he looks like a wart-hog in heat? He knows we all love him -- We'll just watch him eat So take down the foil From his hotel retreat And bring back The King For the man in the street! Elvis has just left the building -- Those are his footprints, right there Elvis has just left the building -- To climb up that heavenly stair He's up there with Jesus, in a big purple chair
