You're a lCittle long in the tooth, babe
Me, I'm Fpuffy and under the wCeather     
But the dCrunker I C/Bget, that Amband gets tighter,
and D7honey, you're lookin' bGetter
So Chere's to dim lights in dingy bars,
to the Falcohol haze and the smoke
and the Cchance to C/Breinvent oursAmelves
Hey bD7aby, let's Ggo for Cbroke

And Fpretend I'm CElvis for Gjust one Cnight
I will Fcall you CPriscilla, D7if that's alrGight
Hey don't we Flook sorta lCike em' in the Eneon lAmight?
Let's Dpretend I'm Elvis, Dmdarlin',  for Gjust oFne niCght
[verse]
Now it's Cone a.m and we follow the band
