Eli’s Coming Lyrics by Three Dog Night

Celebrate: The Three Dog Night Story, 1965-1975

1969

[Intro]
Eli's comin'
Eli's comin' (Eli's a-comin')
Well, you better hide your heart
Your loving heart
Eli's a-comin', and the cards say
A broken heart
[Chorus]
Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl
Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide (Your heart)
Girl, Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl (Hide it)
You better, better hide your heart
Eli's comin', better walk, walk
[Verse]
But you'll never get away
No, you'll never get away
From the burnin' heartache
I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go, though
Eli's a-comin' (She walked, but she never got away)
Eli's a-comin' (She walked, but she never got away)
Eli's a-comin', and he's comin' to get ya
(She walked, but, she walked, but)
Get down on your knees
(She walked, but she never got away)
[Chorus]
Eli's comin' (Hide it, hide it, hide it)
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl (Hide it)
You better, better hide your heart
Eli's comin', better walk, walk
[Verse]
Walk but you'll never get away
No, you'll never get away
From the burnin' heartache
I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go, though
Eli's a-comin' (She walked, but she'll never get away)
Eli's a-comin' (She walked, but she'll never get away)
Eli's a-comin', and he's comin' to get ya
(She walked, but, she walked, but)
Get down on your knees
(She walked, but she'll never get away)
Get down on your knees
[Bridge]
No, no, no, no
Lord, I said no, no, no, no, no, no
[Outro]
(Hide it) She can
(Hide it) Hide it
(Hide it) You better
(Hide it) Somebody
(Hide it) You got to
(Hide it) Oh, my
(Hide it) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
