Little Egypt

|
I went and bought myself a ticket and
|
I sat down in the very first row, wo wo.
|
They pulled the curtain but then when
|
they turned the spotlight way down low, wo wo,
|
little Egypt came out strotting,
|
wearing nothing but a button and a bow, wo wo,
|
singing, "Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah''.
|
|
She had a ruby on her tummy and
|
a diamond big as Texas on her toe, wo wo.
|
She let her hair down and
|
she did the hoochie koochie real slow, wo wo,
|
When she did her special number on a zebra skin,
|
I thought she'd stop the show, wo wo,
|
singing, "Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!".
|
|
She did a triple somersault and when 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,
|
saying Phoenix, Arizona, nineteen forty-nine.
|
|
Yeah, but let me tell you people,
|
little Egypt doesn't dance there anymore, wo wo.
|
She's too busy mopping and
|
a taking care of shopping at the store, wo wo.
|
'Cause we got seven kids and
|
all day long they crawl around the floor, wo wo,
|
singing, "Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!"
