Uncle Jim’s an Elvis Impersonator PDF Print E-mail

Uncle Jim’s an Elvis impersonator

He swivels and sways his hips

Singing every Elvis song

While curling his top lip

 

He knows the words he knows the tunes

Hound Dog, Teddy Bear and more

You’ll spot him in his Blue Suede Shoes

While dancing round the floor

 

Uncle Jim’s an Elvis impersonator

Thick sideburns, greased-back hair

He looks kind of cute in his shiny Elvis suit

And his Elvis underwear

 

He saw Elvis’ Graceland mansion

Stopped in Las Vegas too

The Elvis golden disc he bought

Hangs proudly in his loo

 

Uncle Jim’s an Elvis impersonator

He treats him like a god

Though doctors who examine Jim

Say that he’s very odd

 

The sign he’s fixed on his front door

Reads: `Welcome – Heartbreak Hotel’

You’ll get a burst of Love Me Tender

If you call and ring his bell

 

Uncle Jim’s an Elvis impersonator

He’s got the voice just right

“Thangyouverymuch” he says

While doing Elvis karaoke all night

 

For his forty-fifth birthday

He plans to change his name

He’ll then be Uncle Elvis

And that will sound quite strange

 

Uncle Jim’s an Elvis impersonator

Some say he lives in the past

But he says, “Holy smoke and saints alive

“I just want to make his legend last”

 

My Uncle says though Elvis has died

He lives on in his soul

So if you see Jim

Make his day and say to him

`Hey – aren’t you the King of Rock n Roll?”
