Lyrics

VERSE
You know they said when he was shakin’ a leg
He could not kneel to pray
But they did not understand the man
He loved his Lord in every way

VERSE
From the heart, he’d sing a gospel song
In the middle of a rock and roll show
I know he knew right just like he knew wrong
Heaven above; hell below

CHORUS
When he was shakin’ a leg, shakin’ a leg
He could not kneel to pray
But he could move you to the edge, oh, Lord
Oh, he could make your day
He was doin,’ oh yes, for me and you
What he’d been sent here by his Lord to do
He was shakin’ a leg, he was shakin’ a leg
He was shakin,’ shakin’ a leg

SOLO/VERSE
The pious said it was the devil’s way
We’d all have hell to pay
But they were wrong because Elvis knew
That his Lord had told him what to do

VERSE
Now we all know he brought people to their feet
Yes, indeed, we moved to the beat
Now Jesus loves him; this I know
Where the peaceful waters flow

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
He was shakin’ a leg, he was shakin’ a leg
He was shakin,’ shakin’ a leg
