Elvira

Well, tonight I'm gonna meet her

At the Hungry House Cafe

And I'm gonna give her all the lovin' I can

She's gonna jump and holler

'Cause I saved up two dollars

And we're gonna search and find that preacher man

Elvira, Elvira, my heart's on fire, Elvira

She's got eyes that look like heaven

And lips like a sherry wine

And she sure knows how to make a real poor boy feel fine

And she's gonna jump and holler

'Cause I saved up two dollars

And we're gonna search and find that preacher man

Elvira, Elvira, my heart's on fire, Elvira

She say giddy up oom poppa, oom poppa, mow, mow

Giddy up oom poppa, oom poppa, mow, mow

Hi oh, silver away yea, yea

Well, tonight I'm gonna meet her

At the Hungry House Cafe

And I'm gonna give her all the lovin' I can yeah, yeah

Well, she's gonna jump and holler

'Cause I saved up two dollars

And we're gonna search and find that preacher man

Elvira, Elvira, my heart's on fire, Elvira

Elvira, Elvira, my heart's on fire, Elvira

She say, giddy up oom poppa, oom poppa, mow, mow

Giddy up oom poppa, oom poppa mow, mow

Hi oh, silver away yea, yea
