Step right up, folks,
and see
Little Egypt do her famous
Dance of the Pyramids!
Ooh, she walks, she talks,
she crawls on her belly like a reptile!
Just one thin dime and one
-tenth of a dollar!
Step right up, folks!
I went and bought myself a ticket
in a set down on the very first row.
They pulled the curtain
and they turned the spotlight
way down low
Little Egypt came a -struttin',
wearing nothing but a button and a...
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
She had a ruby on her tummy
And a diamond big as Texas on her toe
She let her hair down
and she did the hoochie
coochie real slow
When she did a special number
on her zebra skin
I thought she stopped the show
Singing!
Mmmmm, yeah, yeah,
mmmmm, yeah, oh yeah, huh
Mmmmm, yeah, I'm a Mexican,
mmmmm, yeah, alright
She did a triple somersault
and then she hit the ground
She winked at the audience
and then she turned around
She had a picture of a cowboy
tattooed on her spine
that said, Phoenix, Arizona, 1949.
Let me tell you, people,
little Egypt doesn't dance
there no more,
because she's too busy mopping
and taking care of shopping at the store,
because we got seven kids
and all did long
to crawl around the floor.
They're all singin'
They're all singin'
They're all singin'
Yee -Yah! Yee -Yah!
Yee -Yah!
Yee -Yah!
Yee Yee -Yah!
Yee -Yah!
That's like a Zen thing, isn't it?
