ELVIS'S SOCKS!


I have a crazy neighbor; he's wearing Elvis socks
in honor of King Elvis; he says that makes him rock!
They have his picture, ankle high--I just refuse to see
why he pretends they are so great; they make him look silly!
And he believes in all his heart that his socks once belonged
to Elvis, and those same socks helped my neighbor write a song!!
He wears his Elvis socks below his old plaid summer shorts;
he's all decked out and "formal" "with jewel'ry made from quartz!
But Elvis wore big diamonds; my neighbor doesn't get it--
his Elvis socks stand out as gauche, and they don't even fit!
His songs are really awful, too; the words don't make good sense.
His music is not musical--it's the best of dissonance!!
So, off with those yuck socks, I say, before the tacky prize is won--
quit trying to win from your bad taste--it's truly not fashion!
