Chapter 60

    (Sung to the tune of Heartbreak Hotel)

      Last night while I was dreamin'
      I heard somebody scream
      And there was Elvis, baby, lookin'
      Hungry and mean
      He said, Well, I'm so hungry, baby
      Yeah, I'm so hungry, baby,
      I feel so hungry, I could die

      Well, I fixed him up a breakfast
      Of poached eggs and ham
      A toasted English muffin, covered with
      Strawberry jam
      But he just looked at me
      And then he cried
      I been so hungry, since I died

      So I went into the kitchen
      And left the cupboards bare
      Fixed him up a breakfast that was
      Beyond compare
      Well, French toast and omlettes, baby
      Green beans and ham hocks, baby
      He ate so much, I thought he'd die

      Well, buttered baked potatoes
      I fried him up hash browns
      I made him little pork sausages that
      were freshly ground
      Hot gravy biscuits
      Cheese dip on Triscuits
      He said, I've had enough

    --Peter Wood (1984)
