Let's all sing this time

Now for the second verse

Everyone has to sing

Not me!

That was very nice, wasn't it?

Let's sing it often

After the song, I gave her a flower

- What did you say her name was?

- Anna-Rosa

- Be nice to her

- Of course

You always start like this

Put your middle finger here

And the other one the same

Then thumbs under... and over

Let go, and it's a coffee cup

Your hair feels nice

Like a brush

This is where it tickles most

It's coming tomorrow

Then we'll all watch

Won't it be fun? In colour

We'll see Mummy's Elvis,

the real Elvis

Did you hear me?

When is it coming tomorrow?

What? Who's coming?

- The colour TV, of course

- Oh, that...

When I wanted to see ice hockey,

what a fuss you made

And now, Elvis Presley

Elvis is being transmitted

direct from Hawaii, USA...

...to a TV audience of millions...

...through a satellite link-up

all over the world

The wine's there, Gsta

Cheers!

Drink your lemonade

I'll say goodnight to Elvis

Like it, wasn't he sweet?

Whose Elvis am I?

You?

Mummy's little Elvis, of course

Why turn away?

It's ages since you were nice to me

How about a little kiss?

Don't you like me at all?

Coming?

I'm with Elvis

His name should be Bengt

Don't lie with your hands there

Hands above the quilt

when you sleep

Can't be fun at school with a

name like that, Elvis Karlsson

I suppose Johan would've been

better, like Grandma wanted

Good grief, Elvis!

Grandpa!

Look who's here

Penny for your thoughts

Thinking of school?

I'll ring Mummy, she'll be worried

No, no, don't

I must tell her you're here

I'll just have a few words

I'm making a phone call

I have to say the lad's here

It's Grandpa

Just to let you know Elvis is here

Yes, he's been here all day

Surely that's not necessary

Come home? At once?

No, I can't see him just now

Elvis is to come home

And who decides that?

He's to come home, I said

- Who's that?

- Grandpa

Elvis played truant today

Well, he is my kid

Hang on, that's no way to talk

Let me talk to Dad

Elvis must come home

Hello... hi, Dad

How are things?

You don't say!

No, of course he can stay

Elvis must come home, he

can't behave like that

Stop that now

Tomorrow's Saturday anyway

It doesn't matter. That's fine

Yes, might as well

Enjoy yourselves. 'Bye!

So I've no say any more?

Don't get so het up, he

can stay the weekend

Giving in to your father again

We're talking about Elvis

Having fun after playing truant

What'll his teacher think of me?

A brat who wets himself,

and plays truant

It'll be nice to be on our own

We can have a party and...

Don't touch me!

Johan, Aged 6

Johan's shadow

Was Johan Daddy's brother?
