I learned this song off the CD. In concert, Fred does an additional verse that includes a line like "I saw Elvis Presley and Woody Guthrie". Anybody know that verse?
The King and I
by Fred Koller
I saw Elvis Presley and Amelia Earhart,
At the airport late last night.
He was checking his guitar at the baggage claim,
She was waitin' for a standby flight.
And I know it was him and Jimmy Hoffa,
Over by the money machine.
If I'd had my camera, I could've taken their picture,
And sold it to People magazine.
CHO:
Oooh, whee, oh, my.
There we were, The King and I.
Just a couple of regular guys,
Havin' the time of our lives.
I saw Elvis Presley and John Belushi,
Hitchhikin' down the avenue.
Well I picked 'em up and when I asked 'em their names,
They both said, "Howard Hughes"
And I know it was him at the laundramat,
Trying to make change for a five,
'Cause he carried his jump suits to a white Cadillac,
That was parked at the curb outside. CHO:
I saw Elvis Presley at the Strike and Spare,
Bowling a three hundred game.
Well, he'd put on some weight and he'd lost some hair,
But he was still The King just the same.
So late that night, I followed him home,
To a trailer by the side of the road.
Elvis brought out some brews and we sat outside,
And waited for the UFO's. CHO:
I saw Elvis Presley and Yul Brynner,
Yul said, "El, I belong in your song."
El said, "Go on Yul, go shave your head."
"It's already way too long." CHO:
Roger in Baltimore
