I was in this awful rock and roll ensemble when I was much younger And I'm ashamed to say I wrote the songs and that I was the leader of the band We were desperate for gigs, cause we were out of weed and on the verge of hunger We'd have done a gig for Nazis we were after any gig that we could land My uncle was the leader of the union and a local jazz musician And one day he said boys I got a paying gig most bands would kill to get And I'll arrange for you to have this paying gig but there's just one minor condition You must agree to play an Elvis Presley song before the end of your first set So All we had to do was learn an Elvis Presley song They're only three or four chords and a couple minutes long The gig was for special needs children And so there was no risk in playing it wrong So All we had to do was learn an Elvis Presley song We couldn't play "Heartbreak Hotel" and then we butchered good ol "love me tender" We tried our best at Don't be Cruel, it sounded really awful I must say We murdered poor old "houndog" and just couldn't figure out "return to sender" And of course we had procrastinated and the gig was just a day away And so I came up with this brilliant plan To give these special needs kids what they wanted I'd announce an Elvis Presley song and then instead our own song would we play I know it was dishonest and to this day by the guilt of it I'm haunted But I figured that these special needs kids wouldn't know the difference anyway So all we had to do was learn an Elvis Presley song They're only three or four chords and a couple minutes long The gig was for special needs children And so there was no risk in playing it wrong So All we had to do was learn an Elvis Presley song We were on stage doing mike checks and string Tuning on the evening of the big show And these kids began to dance around They must have thought our tuning sounded great If they're dancing to your sound check That's a promising sign for how well would the gig go We finished tuning our guitars and started playing just about an hour late I started the show like Ted Nugent yelling "Which of you kids is ready to fuckin rock?" My cursing was not well received The parents attending were clearly disgusted So I thought, we'd better play Elvis, and yelled "here's one by Elvis" But much to their shock We played some song that we wrote and the parents were onto my plan We were busted Man, All we had to do was learn an Elvis Presley song They're only three or four chords and a couple minutes long My uncle found out so we didn't get paid And couldn't buy weed for our bong All we had to do was learn an Elvis Presley song
