Well tonight I'm gonna meet her at 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 gonna search and find that preacher man
Elvira Elvira my heart's on fire for Elvira
She's got eyes that look like heaven and lips like a cherry wine
And sure nuff how to make a real poor boy feel fine
Yes she's gonna jump and holler cause I saved up two dollars
We gonna search and find that preacher man
Elvira Elvira my heart's on fire for Elvira
She said gi di up oom pa pa oom pa pa mow mow
Gi di up oom pa pa oom pa pa mow mow hi yo silver away
[ piano - guitar ]
Well tonight I'm gonna meet her at hungry house cafe...
Elvira Elvira my heart's on fire for Elvira
Elvira Elvira my heart's on fire for Elvira
Gi di up oom pa pa oom pa pa mow mow
Gi di up oom pa pa oom pa pa mow mow hi yo silver away
