Married By Elvis lyrics

There s a real cool couple living on my street
They smile and wave every time we meet
They ve been together for the past five years
They re perfectly happy and perfectly queer
Its not a Brady Bunch episode
They re not the Cunninghams its not the Cosby Show
That black and white world didn t ever exist
Who says a family needs a mister and miss

They ve got a dream
Picture the scene

They want to drive down to Vegas
Get married by Elvis
Get drunk on champagne and get legally laid
They ll cherish the kisses
As missus and missus
Now is that so terribly strange
Ain t it strange

"Give it a one one twenty in a Cadillac boom boom boom and me never look back"

Now it s a long, long way out of Buffalo
Thay ve got the Dom on ice and a slice to go
In a top down Caddy in the desert breeze
Romeo and Juliet meet Thelma and Louise
They ve got the radio, they ve got one CD
Top 40 and some old Lou Reed

They got caffeine and gasoline
It s the Great Escape starring Jean McQueen
I think tonight
They ll both wear white

They want to drive down to Vegas
Get married by Elvis
Get drunk on champagne and get legally laid
They ll cherish the kisses
As missus and missus
Now is that so terribly strange
Ain t it strange
