Lyrics
EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE ELVIS By: Mike Cloonan
Copyright 2005
VERSE 1
Well, everybody wants to Elvis
But nobody wants to be dead
Marie Antoinette had alot of friends
Till she lost her head
Cassius Clay changed his name so he could be Ali
Everyone wants to be someone else,
But no one wants to be me.
CHORUS
Everyone wants to be Elvis
Nobody wants to be me
But I can do two things he can't do
I can move around and breathe
I don't have much money
But I'm pretty much trouble free
So why you all want to be Elvis
Nobody wants to be me
VERSE 3
Babe Ruth was a hero
But nobody wants that face
OJ had lots of fans till he lost that Bronco race
Everybody wants to be someone else it seems
If you're gonna be someone else,
I guess you might as well be the king
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Well I'm not too good looking
And I'm not very tall
And I don't have all of my teeth
And I've been known to crawl
Every now and then you'll find me
Down upon my knees
Thanking God for the good sense
Of making just one of me
CHORUS
