Peanut butter and banana in a milkshake
Loaf of bread filled with meat and deep fried
Metabolism’s getting slower when you’re older
It’s not that easy to work off an entire pie
He ballooned as he consumed everything
Left the building hours before
Still they were screamin’ for
Fat Elvis oh he was what he ate
Only fitting now his face is on a plate
A food addiction brought the singer to his knees
Fat Elvis – he liked him some grease
Up in Graceland shot a hole through his TV
But the fans’ devotion was impossible to shake
Harem Scarem didn’t scare ‘em from the movies
Couldn’t lose ‘em with the plot of Clambake
Karate moves on the stage I’m telling you
Dressed like a matador
And what’s with the pompadour?
Fat Elvis and his Las Vegas style
Fat Elvis and his sideburns gone wild
Imitation isn’t always flattery
Fat Elvis- American cheese
Everyone everywhere afraid to tell him he truth
So he dug his own grave with a fork and a spoon
And some Quaaludes
What? Too soon?
Fat Elvis on a 29-cent stamp
Fat Elvis on a potato chip bag clamp
Refrigerator magnets or box set of CDs
Get your Fat Elvis- right this way please
Fat Elvis in his sunglasses and cape
Fat Elvis so much easier to impersonate
Forever frozen in the 1970s
Fat Elvis
Rest in peace
Catchin’ some Zs
You kids eat your peas

Title
Fat Elvis
The King of Rock n Roll loved his comfort food.
His diet in his later years was rumored to add up to anywhere from 30,000 to 100,000 calories a day.
For you history buffs, the term "Fat Elvis" came about in 1992, when the US post office let the public vote on which stamp design to use to commemorate The King: early Elvis or mid-1970s Elvis (terms which quickly turned into "Skinny Elvis" and "Fat Elvis").
even more (and even more useless) useless trivia:
I once sat in his favorite booth at The Arcade (a Memphis restaurant), enjoying a peanut butter banana milkshake. as I slid over to leave, the vinyl on the seat ripped my hose. Elvis lives!
