elvis presley is alive and well
and the world scrapes near the ground

at the north pole, a flag remains unplanted
in egypt, there are no pyramids.

elvis presley is alive and well
but there is no such thing as superman
   there was never a thing called slavery
   there was never a rape of africa.

elvis presley can beat jesse owens
because jesse never ran a race
              bob gibson is throwing knuckleballs
              kareem is shooting jumpers.         

elvis presley is alive and well and i swear i
saw him in harlem
        everyone bolt your doors !
        everyone board up your windows !!
        everyone stop taking singing lessons !!!
        no one is writing this down !!!!

elvis presley was a black man
and al jolson didn't need any make-up,

         for it is proven
         and i believe it to be true

         elvis taught bruce lee karate !
