Le Roi Est Mort! Vive Le Roi! Poem by Ramona Thompson

Le Roi est mort
Vive Le Roi!
The king is dead
Long live the king!
Elvis has left the building
For real this time
So many years after the fakery of his first death
Now in the wings waiting to take his place upon the rock 'n roll throne
There stands another
There stands the illegitimate proof of the king's legacy
So much like his father in looks, manners and talent
They could well be twins!
Now his rightful place amoug rock 'n roll's elite he shall take
Too long denied
Too long hidden in the darkness of their shame
He shall come forward
Bold and with no apologies
To step into his very own pair of shining perfect blue suede shoes
With his sights set hungry on a dream
A dream he vows he's gonna make come true
Stand one and stand all now to salute him
Le Roi est mort!
Vive Le Roi!
Elvis Aaron Jr. Presley
The brand new king of this rock 'n roll kingdom!
