Elvira Lyrics
Written by: Dallas Frazier (1966)
Elvira
Elvira, Elvira
My heart's on fire Elvira
Eyes that look like heaven, lips like sherry wine
That girl can sure enough make my little light shine
I get a funny feelin' up and down my spine
'Cause I know that my Elvira's mine
I'm singin'
Elvira, Elvira
My heart's on fire, Elvira
Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Poppa Mow Mow
Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Poppa Mow Mow
Heigh-ho Silver, away
Tonight I'm gonna meet her at the Hungry House Cafe
And I'm gonna give her all the love I can, yes I am
She's gonna jump and holler
'Cause I saved up my last two dollars
We're gonna search and find that preacher man
Now I'm a singin'
Elvira, Elvira
My heart's on fire Elvira
Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Poppa Mow Mow
Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Poppa Mow Mow
Heigh-ho Silver, away
Elvira, Elvira
My heart's on fire Elvira
Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Poppa Mow Mow
Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Poppa Mow Mow
Heigh-ho Silver, away
Elvira, Yeah...
Elvira
My heart's on fire Elvira
Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Poppa Mow Mow
Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Poppa Mow Mow
Heigh-ho Silver, away
Elvira, Yeah...
Elvira
My heart's on fire Elvira...

Elvira
A Few Facts Courtesy of Wikipedia
In 1978, alternative country recording artist Rodney Crowell recorded his cover of Elvira, which became a very minor hit that year. However, Crowell's version did have its fans - most notably, The Oak Ridge Boys. In 1980, when the band began planning for their upcoming album Fancy Free, they decided to cover the song as well.
Released in March 1981, Elvira quickly climbed the Billboard Magazine Hot Country Singles chart, and became their fourth No. 1 hit that Memorial Day weekend. Their rendition - complete with Richard Sterban's deep voiced vocals on the chorus ("ba-oom papa oom papa oom papa mow mow") - would also become their biggest pop hit, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 that August.
Elvira Trivia:
Elvira boasted sales of more than two million units and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
