The King Speaks

Thank you
Thank you very much, indeed

You know it's been a long, long time
It's been a long, long time since
Myself and my house band
I've been playing, been playing in these parts
I must say it's really beautiful to be back

Thank you, as colonel tom
As colonel tom always used to say to me
You see elvis, that whatever you do
He said even if you hated every minute of it
He said just tell them it was beautiful, they're gonna really love ya
And he say to me, he say to me, uh
It may be a drag but, this sure pays you labret

It's been a long time since our song to bunch of young kids
I'm really serious, it's been about fifteen years
I've been, been bumming around started making a lot of hick films
And singing a lot of uh, hack ballads
But I guess, I guess it's the only time I'm gonna get to sing
One of my really old favorites, it's about twelve years old

I guess some, I guess somebody
What's the matter? Ain't you seen mister
Ain't you see mister president laugh before?
You know it's been a long time
We're gonna do this song now
Goes something like this
What's the matter with the band over here?
