Little Egypt

I went and bought myself a ticket

And I sat down in the very first row

They pulled the curtain but then when

they turned the spotlight way down low

Little Egypt came out a-struttin'

Wearin' nothin' but a button and a bow.



Singing, ying-ying, ying-ying,

Ying-ying, Ying-ying.



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 her special number on the

Zebra skin I thought she'd stop the show.



Singing, ying-ying, ying-ying,

Ying-ying, ying-ying.



She did her 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

Tatooed on her spine

Said, Phoenix, Arizona 1949.



Yeh, let me tell you people Little Egypt

Doesn't dance there anymore

She's too busy moppin' and a-takin'

Care of shoppin' at the store

'Cause we've got seven kids and all day long

They crawl around the floor.



Singing ying-ying, ying-ying,

Ying-ying, ying-ying...
