Everybody knows Elvis
Everybody knows Jesus
Everybody knows you look both ways
Before you cross that road
And there's nothing new
Under that old sun
Everybody knows Elvis
But you know nobody really does
Did you know him down in Tupelo
Did you know him on that Vegas show
Did you know him when he couldn't sleep unstoned
Did you know him when he died all alone
Everybody knows Elvis
Everybody knows Jesus
Everybody knows beauty lies
In the eyes that behold
And two things that won't die
True love and rock and roll
Everybody knows Jesus
But you know nobody really does
Did you know him in that upstairs room
Did you know him when that rooster sang his tune
Did you know him on that hill of doom
Did you know him when they laid him in that tomb
Cause everybody knows Elvis
Everybody knows Jesus
But you know nobody ever really does
