That's right it's the Blues Explosion, ladies and gentlemen
Right here tonight in Seattle
We wanna talk about punishment
Punishment
Reward
Punishment
Reward
I gotta say happy birthday Mr Elvis Presley
Happy birthday Mr Elvis Presley
Come on fellas
Hang it right there
We gotta get down in the United States of America
Talking about 2011, baby
Happy birthday Elvis Presley

Some people wanna twist the facts
To suit where they're coming at
Baby
I don't gotta know it
I don't got to buy it
Gonna put my money where my mouth is
You see ladies and gentlemen the Blues Explosion are from New York City
We got a terrible anniversary coming up
Gonna be all sorts of hyenas, vultures and ghost
Demons and phantoms
Long-teeth vampires decending on Manhattan this September

Wanna tell you what to do
Tell ya that we didn't come from a monkey
Tell ya that it was all somebody's plan
Well I got a plan
My plan is for more rock and roll

Blues Explosion
We got to do our own thing baby
Make up your own mind
Do you own thing
Ladies and gentlemen
We got to survive
We got to Survive
We got to Survive

Happy birthday Elvis Presley
