lyrics

If The White House Was In Memphis©2008
By Rich Jernejcic & Eugene Crider


Verse 1:
If Elvis was alive today
And ran for president
There’d be no damned election
The Chief Justice would just announce
The King is President

Alan Jackson would be appointed
Chief diplomat of dance
Instead of the Lincoln bedroom
It’d be called The Good Time Flat
With jelly donuts twenty-four seven
And the beer is always on tap

Chorus:
If the White House was in Memphis,
And ol’ Elvis was on top
Then all them crooks in Congress
Would be dancin' to the jailhouse rock

The economy would run on
On peanut butter and jelly beans
There’d be no Air Force One
He’d be flying the Lisa Marie

And the word would ring out across the land…
The King is President

Verse 2:
That good ol' boy Hank Jr.
With all his rowdy friends
Would be Secretary of the state
And bring peace throughout the land
He’d have the whole Country Relaxin”
By solving things Man to Man

<Repeat Chorus>

Bridge:
There’ll be a whole lot’a shakin’
Going on across the Nation
Them hound dogs would be celebratin’
Yeah…yeah…yeah

<Repeat Chorus>
Yeah, this song would ring out across the land…
The King is President
Uh huh…uh huh

<spoken> Yeah, Momma
