->''"I saw Elvis in a UFO, sitting there with Creator/HowardHughes\\
I saw Elvis in a UFO, Jimmy Hoffa was in there too\\
I saw Elvis in a UFO, singing them rhythm and blues\\
And Liberace was there, and he had on a pair of Imelda Marcos' shoes\\

What is that, a shooting star, streakin' 'cross the heavens above?\\
No, it's a whole lot more than a shooting star, it's a hunka hunka burnin' love\\

And then he shook his head, puffed on his cigar and said "I done booked Elvis out in outer space.''"\\
