A hibachi Amy Whorehouse's great and uncomfortably pictures video: able song, Elvis's pictures (some of them probably Photostatted by someone) and me singing over a backtrack that I found here at YouTube as a karaoke.
It is a tribute to both the KING (who wasn't an alcohol aficionado, by the way) and Ms AW, one of the greatest talents of these years, in my opinion.
These are the lyrics (I've adapted them just a little bit for my singing):
They tried to make me go to rehab
Uh, I said no,no,no
Yes, I've been black, but when I come back
You'll know,know,know
I ain't got the time
And if my woman thinks I'm fine
Just try to make me go to rehab
Ah, I won't go,go,go
I'd rather be at home with Ray
I ain't got seventy days
'Cause there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Elvis or Hathaway
I didn't get a bloody class
But I know we don't come in a shot glass
They tried to make me go to rehab
But I said no,no,no
Yes, I've been black, but when I come back
You'll know,know,know
I ain't got the time
And if my woman thinks I'm fine
Just try to make me go to rehab
Uh, I won't go,go,go
The lady said "why bayou think you're here?"
I said: I got no idea...
I said: I'm gonna,I'm gonna loose my baby,
So I always keep a little bottle near me.
She said "I just think you're depressed"
I said: Kiss me here, baby
And go rest.
They tried to make me go to rehab
But I said no,no,no
Yes, I've been black, but when I come back
You'll know,know,know
I don't ever want to drink again
I just, oh, Lord, I need a friend
I'm not going to spend ten weeks
Have everyone think I'm on the mend
And it's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried
They tried to make me go to rehab
Uh, I said no,no,no
Yearly, I've been black, but when I come back
You'll know,know,know
I ain't got the time
And if my woman thinks I'm fine
Just try to make me go to rehab
Well, I won't go,go,go
