Well, what power of god does a nun use to hold up parish priestsAnd what makes a good cop let go a beautiful theifOh, and how does the queen know she got hold that manna honeyOh and what makes an old woman give a young man all her moneyWell late in the night 'neath that pale moonlight the power comes over meAnd its all elouise yeahI'm turning into elvis (and there's nothing i can do)...kissed the babysitter. she screamed and i told her it was just the beast in me.And on my way out of the house i shot out my tvI went down to the corner luncheonette and said sally "fried peanut butter and banana will do(?)"I'm turning into elvis and there's nothing i can doI threw out my wife and family i took off my wedding ringI told my friends and neighbors to refer to me now as "king"I put a chainlink fence around my ranch house and on the gate a sign that reads "graceland ii"I'm turning into elvis and there's nothing i can doI visited my mama's grave and i headed out to hollywood and i signed a picture with mgmI play a rebellious beachboy racecar driver who fucks a nun in the endIn the last scene i whip out my big guitar and show her a little memphis-style kung-fuI'm turning into elvis and there's nothing i can doBut i drove on straight to vegas and i stopped in the first old stripper bar.Found me a little hooker that looked just like ann-margaret and we rumba'd in my sports car.Well me and my drinking buddies turned my lovin' home into a frikkin' zoo.I'm turning into elvis and there's nothing i can doWell he came to me last night in a dream looking just like he did in '57.He said "son that guitar is a wonderful thing but it can be the living devils' friend.On the other hand there's sex-starved women, millions of dollars, and anything you want to do."I'm turning into elvis and there's nothing i can do
