          Great! It's "unplugged", so there must be a "plugged" version somewhere.

          I still don't understand why on Earth the album won't get released.

            The Shit That Killed Elvis

            David Lee Roth

            Gave a task to a monkey
            ‘Cause they wanted to see
            If he could roll like Elvis and to what degree
            And when they checked the results
            The experts couldn’t believe
            Fuckin’ chimp lit up like a Christmas tree
            Monkey went off like a stick of TNT
            Broke the light, smashed the camera, and destroyed the chromakey
            Now he’s hiding high up in the Judas tree

            That’s the shit that killed Elvis
            And it almost killed the chimpanzee
            That’s the shit that killed Elvis
            Ain’t going to let it catch mе

            Give me the babеs and the dames
            The groupies and whores
            Ones with no last names
            I’m talking Best in Show
            Five star bed
            Never rehearse
            Arrive in a Limo
            Leave in a hearse

            Give me a platinum-plated trip to the top
            With a warranty
            Late night hot tub, waking at the crack of three

            I want the shit that killed Elvis
            That’s the life for me
            Give me the shit that killed Elvis
            Ain’t going to let it catch me

            I need a super-size mansion
            Under constant renovation
            Tomb with a view
            For world-class procrastination
            Death by pizza in perfect isolation
            Modern and most things will go to my wishing
            Me a platinum-plated trip to the top
            With a warranty
            Late night hot tub, waking at the crack of three

            I want the shit that killed Elvis
            That’s the life for me
            Give me the shit that killed Elvis
            Ain’t going to let it catch me

              Dave sure can throw together words like no other.

              I love the song.

                Sounds like it's "moderate in most things, including moderation." Which is a line that Dave has used before of course.

                  Now available in Spotify and other streaming services. Took a while again.

                    The parables of Dave.
                    No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!
