My heart's on fire for Elvira
Eyes that look like Heaven, lips like cherry 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
Elvira, Elvira
My heart's on fire for 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'

I never get tired of this version of this song, because no matter how many times I watch this by the time I see Rob comparing beard size, I realize I've been so engrossed in the fun and beautiful harmonies, that I've been sitting here with an unashamedly goofy grin on my face for 2 and a half minutes. 😂😅😂 ❤❤❤

This is what happens when you get a bunch of talented performers together. The first thing they do is have fun. If you don't believe it just look at the smiles on their faces and it comes through in their voices. They are having way too much fun. It's like when everything just clicks - you know its right and everyone feels it. This is what makes good singers great singers. They make their voices smile. Love this group.

It comes down to one thing; All Talent and NO Ego. It shines through their voices and smiles.
