[Intro]
Elvira, Elvira
My heart's on fire for Elvira
[Verse 1]
Eyes that look like heaven, lips like cherry wine
That girl can sure enough make my little light shine
I get a funny feeling, up and down my spine
'Cause I know that my Elvira's mine
So I'm singin'
[Chorus]
Elvira, Elvira
My heart's on fire for Elvira
Giddy up, oom poppa, oom poppa, mow mow
Giddy up, oom poppa, oom poppa, mow mow
Heigh-ho Silver, away
[Verse 2]
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've saved up my last two dollars
We're gonna search and find that preacher man
And I'm a-singin'
[Chorus]
Elvira, Elvira
My heart's on fire for Elvira
Giddy up, oom poppa, oom poppa, mow mow
Giddy up, oom poppa, oom poppa, mow mow
Heigh-ho Silver, away
[Chorus]
Elvira, Elvira
My heart's on fire for Elvira
Giddy up, oom poppa, oom poppa, mow mow
Giddy up, oom poppa, oom poppa, mow mow
Heigh-ho Silver, away
[Chorus]
Elvira, yeah Elvira
My heart's on fire for Elvira
Giddy up, oom poppa, oom poppa, mow mow
Giddy up, oom poppa, oom poppa, mow mow
Heigh-ho Silver, away
[Outro]
Elvira, yeah Elvira
My heart's on fire for Elvira
Elvira was written by Dallas Frazier.
Elvira was produced by Ron Chancey.
The song was written by Dallas Frazier in 1966. He actually recorded the song himself and released it that same year. So this version is not the original version of the song.
