help, Elvis reference

I did a slightly complex favor for a friend of mine, and reported on my success in an e-mail ending "And ... done."

He replied by e-mail, "As Elvis used to say. (I won't actually say it.)"

I'm embarrassed to ask him, but what did Elvis use to say? I know virtually nothing about Elvis. The only thing I know that he used to say is, "You ain't nothin' but a hound dog."

He's probably non-quoting Elvis saying, in his southern drawl, "Thank yew, thank yew very much." He would say this after he became a big star and applause after a hit song would drown out almost everything else.
