Elvis In Deutschland - Per Gessle

The sky was so clear, it was a beautiful day

The King did arrive in such a glamorous way

Women ravin' wavin' hands in the air, oh yea

Men were cheerin', children started to stare

The King told the crowd he was the luckiest guy

He’d finally come through to the European side

A navy band got ready and started to play, he-hey

Another song from those mighty glorious days

Oh boy, did he look good in green!

Oh boy, did he did he look good in green!

Oh boy!

This sunny afternoon

He sleeps his Saturday away

Locked in his room

These were the days of peace and joy in our hearts

No Major Tom was to be seen in the charts

No Sgt Pepper was playin' around in your home, oh no

Just Colonel Parker countin' the money alone

But boy, did he look good in green!

Oh boy, did he did he look good in green!

Oh boy!

This sunny afternoon

He sleeps his Saturday away

Locked in his room

And boy, he don’t have many friends

But one is good enough to know

When you’re alone

So alone

The King told the crowd he was a fortunate guy

He thanked them and smiled and made all the girls break down and cry

Cos they all know that this was the bitter end, oh yea

That things would never be quite the same again

Oh boy, did he look good in green!

Oh boy, did he did he look good in green!

Oh boy!

This sunny afternoon

He sleeps his Saturday away

Locked in his room

And boy, he don’t have many friends

But one is all you need to know

When you’re alone

So alone
