The lyrics are:
I was sitting there watching TV
Wendy came and sat on my knee
She put her finger in my ear
But I pulled it out so I could hear
What the newsman on the television said
He said the king of rock & roll was dead
And in the spooky television light
She said, "Don't ever forget this night"
Chorus: I was fucking Wendy under the stars, the night that Elvis died
As walked across the dew wet field
I never ever thought she would yield
To my young body's aching desire
For an older woman's well banked fire
By the left hand I was led
To the place that we would make our bed
And embracing in the blue moonlight
She said, "Don't ever forget this night"
Chorus
She was 31, I was 17
I found out then what passion could mean
I thought I loved her but I didn't know how
I don't love her when I see her know
With the tape deck turned up loud
She made a young man strong and proud
And in the coolness of the morning light
She said, "Don't ever forget this night"
Chorus
