Happy Birthday, Elvis

Happy birthday, Elvis
You're not really dead
It's a lie, it's just a crock,
Something some people said
I heard a cassette of you speaking
On a telephone
From a bunker beneath Graceland
The king sits on his throne

"Happy Birthday, Elvis"
Loudon Wainwright III

The last time I saw Elvis
He was fronting a three-piece band
Rocking on the back of a flatbed truck
With an old guitar in his hand
He was the King

"He Was The King"
Neil Young
