Jerry Lee and Elvis (3:39) (Featured APD Track)

JERRY LEE AND ELVIS

JERRY LEE AND ELVIS
WERE THERE RIGHT FROM THE FIRST
WHEN MEMPHIS TENNESSEE
ELECTRIFIED THE UNIVERSE
THE WHOLE WORLD STARTED ROCKIN’
AS BLUE EYED COUNTRY SOUL
BURNED A PLACE IN THE HISTORY BOOKS
FOR MEMPHIS
AS THE BIRTHPLACE OF ROCK'N'ROLL

JERRY LEE AND ELVIS
WERE AMONG THE FIRST TO FIND
HOW THAT OLD TIME MUSIC
COULD BE BLENDED JUST LIKE WINE
TAKE SOME BACK WOODS COUNTRY
MIX IT WITH RHYTHM AND BLUES
PLAYED BY HILLBILLY BOYS,
MAKING LOTTA NOISE
IN THEIR NEW SUEDE SHOES

NOW JERRY LEE HEARD THE TELEPHONE
AS THE SUN WAS SINKING OUT OF SIGHT
BRINGING LIFE TO THE SHADOWS
IN THE NEW WORLD OF THE NIGHT
OFF IN THE DISTANCE
HE COULD HEAR A HOUND DOG MOAN
SOMETHING TOLD JERRY LEE
HE HAD TO ANSWER THAT TELEPHONE

NOW JERRY LEE, SAID ELVIS
YOU’RE THE LAST OF MY OLD TIME FRIENDS
I’VE GOT THIS FEELING
MY WHOLE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END
I’M FEELING SO EMPTY
I CAN’T SLEEP WITHOUT THE LIGHT
TELL ME JERRY
WOULD YOU COME BY AND SEE ME TONIGHT

EVERYBODY TELLS ME
THAT YOU'RE DOING FINE
WHILE YOU’RE STAYING IN BED ALL DAY
DRINKING THAT CHAMPAGNE WINE
AND YOU'VE NEVER DONE NOTHIN'
SINCE 1963
AND YOU NEVER COULD HOLD A CANDLE
TO OLD JERRY LEE
