Presley Died

to the tune of "Hungry Heart"

Was a water boy in Miami back
In the seventies when Elvis was still intact
Like that halfback that we knew was still snorting
His doctor knew Elvis was sandwich hoarding

Griese told me Elvis Presley died
Bob Griese told me Elvis Presley died
Pour me some water then tell Pat, he sighed
Griese told me Elvis Presley died

I heard him on my phonograph
When I was young I then became a fan
I joined the Dolphins as a member of staff
My bubble burst by that quarterback man

Griese told me Elvis Presley died
Bob Griese told me Elvis Presley died
Pour me some water then tell Pat, he sighed
Griese told me Elvis Presley died

Everybody seems to name-drop now
All their stories start to sound the same
For generations they will never sound
Quite as quirky as my brush with fame

Griese told me Elvis Presley died
Bob Griese told me Elvis Presley died
Pour me some water then tell Pat, he sighed
Griese told me Elvis Presley died

This is excellent, Stalwart!!
It captures the sadness and disillusion I felt on that fateful day!!!
And it's got the name-dropping we all love and deserve!!

Wouldn't it be cool and twisted if Springsteen was the one who told me that Larry Czonka died?

Larry Czonka died? Of what, a nose bleed?
