Calling Elvis, is anybody home?
Calling Elvis, I'm here all alone
Did he leave the building?
Or can he come to the phone?
Calling Elvis, I'm here all alone
Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well
Let me leave my number, heartbreak hotel
Oh love me tender, baby don't be cruel
Return to sender, treat me like a fool
Calling Elvis, is anybody home?
Calling Elvis, I'm here all alone
Did he leave the building?
Can he come to the phone?
Calling Elvis, I'm here all alone (all alone)
Why don't you go get him, I'm his biggest fan
You gotta tell him, he's still the man
Long distance baby, so far from home
Don't you think maybe you could put him on
Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well
Let me leave my number, heartbreak hotel
Oh love me tender, baby don't be cruel
Return to sender, treat me like a fool
Calling Elvis, is anybody home?
Calling Elvis, I'm here all alone

Can he come to the phone?
Calling Elvis, I'm here all alone
Calling Elvis, is anybody home?

it's obviously paying respects to the king...but it was inspired when mark knopfler's brother in law told him he had tried over and over to get through to him but the phone was busy and used the quip "it was like trying to call elvis"...so he really wrote it about not being able to get through to someone...either way, it's an enjoyable song...one of the high points on "on every street", not their best album
