(Roger Ferris)

Last night I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter
That looks like Elvis
I soaked the label off a Flintstone Jelly Bean jar
I cleared us off a place on that
One little table that you left us
And pulled me up a big ole piece of floor.

I pulled the head off Elvis
Filled Fred up to his pelvis
Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
And so are you.

'Round about ten we all got to talking
'Bout Graceland, Bedrock and such
The conversation finally turned to women
But they said they didn't get around too much
Elvis said, "Find 'em young."
And Fred said, "Old Fashioned girls are fun."
Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
And so are you.

Later on it finally hit me
That you wouldn't be 'a comin' home no more
'Cause this time I know you won't forgive me
Like all of them other times before
Then I broke Elvis's nose
Pouring the last drop from his toes
Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
And so are you.
Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
And so are you.

Last night I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter
That looks like Elvis
I soaked the label off a Flintstone Jelly Bean jar....

Fred's catchphrase "Yabba-Dabba-Doo!" (originally derived from the Brylcreem advertising jingle motto "A Little Dab'll Do Ya!"), becomes the subject of a song by Hoagy Carmichael that the singer-songwriter performs in an episode of The Flintstones. Fred's ability to carry a tune was quite good in his younger years. One early episode was where he did a jam with his musician friend "Hot Lips Hannigan", (with Barney, who is a skilled drummer) where his singing caused teenage girls to swoon. In fact, in one of the earliest episodes, "The Girl's Night Out", he recorded a demo record at a carnival of the song "Listen to the Mockingbird", which ended up making him a star whereupon he took the stage name of "Hi Fye" and toured for two weeks with Wilma, Barney, and Betty. Fred, as Hi Fye, was a hit until Wilma and Betty tired of road life and told teenagers the truth, that Fred was actually a square. As the series progressed, however, his voice became worse and worse, eventually to the point that his housekeeper quit rather than having to hear Fred sing. It was also referenced in the refrain of the 1989 George Jones song, "The King is Gone (And So are You)."

Also in the Flintsones show credits, Fred would beat on the door and scream, "WILMA!"

When the series was broadcast in Spanish-speaking countries, Fred and Wilma's names became Pedro (Pedro, Peter in Spanish as being close to 'piedra' which means 'stone') and Vilma Picapiedra ('picapiedra' translating to something like 'stone chiseler' or 'stone hammerer'), and Barney and Betty Rubble became Pablo and Betty Mármol ('marble'), though in Portuguese (which is quite similar to Spanish), the names remained intact. The Spanish version featured Mexican actor Jorge "Tata" Arvizu doing the voice of Pedro Picapiedra, who frequently ad-libbed comments not traceable to the original English language script. Some critics (and a few Hanna-Barbera executives, Arvizu once claimed), found these ad-libbed comments funnier than those in the original English track. A classic example is an episode in which Fred suggests to Barney that two music-playing boarder youths who rented rooms at their respective houses be ejected from them "de una patada en la rabadilla" ("with a kick in their rumps"), a line not featured in the English script.

Roger Ferris is a British pop music composer who wrote a top 30 UK chart hit in 1975 for the band The Arrows, titled "My Last Night With You." The song was produced by Mickie Most on his RAK Records label.

Ferris wrote two more songs for The Arrows, titled Hard Hearted, and Broken Down Heart, all recorded and released in 1975. Of note, "Broken Down Heart" was the flip side of the first version of the classic rock song "I Love Rock 'N Roll," a 45 rpm Arrows single on RAK Records.

In 1979 Roger Ferris went on to co-write a further two hits for the RAK label. "Boy Oh Boy" recorded by Racey, and produced by Mickie Most. Smokie recorded "Babe It's Up To You." Both songs charted in various territories throughout Europe. Prior to his association with RAK Records Roger Ferris was lyricist for the 1970s blockbuster comedy film "On The Buses" theme song.

He was also an engineer on recordings by The Beatles at Abbey Road Studios in the late 1960s.

Since the 1990s Roger Ferris has been bass player and co-writer for British blues trio Smokestack (www.smokestack.co.uk) who were invited to guest for a live session on The Paul Jones blues programme on BBC Radio 2 in 1999.
