It ain’t the meat it’s the motion  
It’s the movement it isn’t the stock

Is you with me now?  
Then biggie-biggie-bounce, I know  
You dig the way I sw-sw-switch my style  
(Holla) People sing around  
Now people gather 'round  
Now people jump around  
Go, get your freak on

That girl is pretty wild now (the girl’s a super freak)  
The kind of girl you read about (in new-wave magazines)  
That girl is pretty kinky (the girl’s a super freak)  
I really love to taste her (every time we meet)  
She’s alright, she’s alright  
That girl’s alright with me  
Yeah, hey, hey, hey, hey!

She’s a super freak, super freak  
She’s super-freaky, yow  
Everybody sing  
Super freak, super freak

Do you know how to play hide-and-seek?  
To find me it would take you a week  
But tied to that chair  
You won’t go anywhere  
There’s a lot I can do with a freak

(Different kind of freak, but it came to mind because I had _Tommy_ playing in the car this morning.)

I was five and he was six  
We rode on horses made of sticks  
He wore black and I wore white  
He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down  
Bang bang, I hit the ground  
Bang bang, that awful sound  
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

The king is gone  
But he’s not forgotten  
This is the story  
Of a Johnny Rotten  
It’s better to burn out  
Than it is to **rust**  
The king is gone  
But he’s not forgotten.

Then I broke Elvis’s nose  
Pouring the last drop from his toes  
Yabba dabba doo, the king is gone  
And so are you  
Yabba dabba doo, the king is gone  
And so are you

Last night, I broke the seal  
On a Jim Beam decanter that looks like Elvis  
I soaked the label off  
A Flintstone Jelly Bean jar

When I look out into your eyes out there,  
When I look out into your faces,  
You know what I see?  
I see a little bit of Elvis  
In each and every one of you out there.

Lemme tell ya…  
Weeeeeeeeeellllllll…

Elvis is everywhere  
Elvis is everything  
Elvis is everybody  
Elvis is still the king

Elvis has just left the building –  
Those are his footprints, right there  
Elvis has just left the building –  
To climb up that heavenly stair

He gave away Cadillacs once in a while;  
Had sex in his underpants,  
Yes, he had style!  
Bell-bottom jump-suits?  
That’s them in a pile,  
But he don’t need’em now,  
‘Cause he’s makin’ Jesus smile!

I love you for your pink Cadillac, crushed velvet seats  
Riding in the back, oozing down the street  
Waving to the girls, feeling out of sight  
Spending all my money on a Saturday night  
Honey, I just wonder what you do there in the back  
Of your pink Cadillac, pink Cadillac

Long and dark, shiny and black  
Open up your engines, let 'em roar  
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur

He’s traded in his Chevy for a Cadillac-ac-ac-ac-ac  
You oughta know by now  
And if you can’t drive with a broken back  
At least you can polish the fenders

We used to ride, baby  
Ride around in limousines

You in white and me in green  
Drinking and dancing  
All inside a crazy dream

Look at you and look at me

Jam up and jelly tight,  
My, my, my, my baby now you’re outta sight.  
Jam up and jelly tight,  
You look a little naughty but you’re so polite.  
Jam up and jelly tight,  
You won’t say you will but there’s a chance that you might.
