elvis and christmas



'twas the night before christmas
when all through the house
elvis was frantic
he just couldn't find his mouse

he searched everywhere
and he went "hi-and-low"
elvis was stymied
and it was starting to snow

so what did he do
he ate a big dinner, and...
he said a prayer...
smart things for a "winner"

and then all at once
came his friend named jerry
he said, "i have a spare mouse"
now...elvis don't worry

so, remember the next time
when you're "down and out"
just say a prayer, and think of elvis
and you will "smile-no doubt!
