Well tonight I'm gonna meet her
At the Hungry House Cafe
And I'm gonna give her all the lovin I can
She's gonna jump and holler
Cause I saved up two dollars
And we're gonna search and find that preacher man
Elvira Elvira my heart's on fire Elvira
She's got eyes that look like heaven
Lips like sherry wine
She sure knows how to make a real poor boy feel fine
She's gonna jump and holler
