[Intro]

[Chorus]
This one's for Elise, Norma Jean
Pattie Boyd and Carole King
Holly Woodlawn, Linda Eastman
Candy Darling got it started with a song
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh) This one's for Elise
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
[Verse 2]

[Chorus]
Whoa Elise, Norma Jean
Pattie Boyd and Carole King
Holly Woodlawn, Linda Eastman
Candy Darling got it started with a song
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh) This one's for Elise
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
[Piano Break]
[Chorus]
This one's for Elise, Norma Jean
Pattie Boyd and Carole King
Holly Woodlawn, Linda Eastman
Candy Darling got it started
For Elise, Norma Jean
Pattie Boyd and Carole King
Holly Woodlawn, Linda Eastman
Candy Darling got it started with a song
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh) This one's for Elise
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
[Outro]
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh) This one's for Elise
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh) This one's for Elise
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh) This one's for Elise
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh) This one's for Elise
