lyrics

the concierge is crazy
with all these Elvis impersonators
filling up the lobby
and riding up the elevators
the concierge is frantic
he's slipped into a panic
at a trail of rhinestones shining
from here to the Atlantic

the concierge is loony
his eyes just look right through me
the guests appear identical
but they all have different room keys
the concierge is nauseous
he's growing ever cautious
'cause one of 'em might be real

and then I see you slip through the revolving door
swaggering over the marble floor

won't you tell me how you fell
into the Tupelo Hotel
where Elvis shot out TVs
tell me how you fell
into the Tupelo Hotel
here in Memphis, Tennessee

the bellboy's taking numbers
in hopes that he'll remember
where to haul their baggage
and where to stack their lumber
and when the bellboy takes their six-strings
to the shop when they need fixing
he sings "Heartbreak Hotel"

and then I see you in your rhinestone suit
dark sunglasses and alligator boots

where there's a convention of Elvises crooning
'neath the clear night sky
a gleam of wishful thinking
in their eyes
