Yoga is as Yoga Does

(Nelson / Burch)

Information:

Elvis sang Yoga is as Yoga Does in a duet with Elsa Lanchester in the 1967 film Easy Come Easy Go. The film version had several backing voices. The instrumental track was recorded on September 28 or 29, 1966, at Radio Recorders. Elvis's vocal was overdubbed at a later date. Yoga is as Yoga Does was written by Gerald Nelson and Fred Burch.

Lyrics:

Well I can see that you and yoga will never do

Yoga is as yoga does there's no in-between
You’re either with it on the ball or you've blown the scene
I can see lookin' at you, you just can't get settled
How can I even move, twisted like a pretzel

1. (Yoga is, yoga does)
(There's no in-between)
(Your either with it all the way) Or you've blown the scene
(Or you've blown the scene)

Come on come on, untwist my legs, pull my arms a lot
How did I get so tied up in this yoga knot
You tell me just how I can take this yoga serious
When all it ever gives to me is pain in my posteriors

1. (repeat)

Stand upside down on your head, feet against the wall
A simple yoga exercise done by one and all
Now cross your eyes and hold your breath, look just like a clown
Yoga's sure to catch you if you come falling down

1. 1. (repeat)
