\nYes, Elvis has left the building
\nAnd you may be glad to see the back of
\nA hot potato
\nJumping on the bandwagon
\nBut once in a blue moon
\nYou will hear it on the grapevine
\nRather than straight from the horse\u2019s mouth
\nWhich is a far cry
\nFrom the best thing since sliced bread
\nSomething you can see eye to eye
\nWhile cutting the mustard
\nBy drawing all the best of both worlds
\nTo make a long story short
\n 
\nNow if you feel a bit under the weather
\nDo not sit on the fence
\nDo not let the cat out of the bag
\nBut just give it the benefit of doubt
\nAnd then hit the sack
\nEven in this heat of the moment<\/strong>
