Coasters - Little Egypt lyrics

rate me

I went and bought myself a ticket and<br />

I sat down in the very first row, wo wo.<br />

They pulled the curtain but then when<br />

They turned the spotlight way down low, wo wo,<br />

Little Egypt came out strotting,<br />

Wearing nothing but a button and a bow, wo wo,<br />

Singing, "Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah''.<br />

She had a ruby on her tummy and<br />

A diamond big as Texas on her toe, wo wo.<br />

She let her hair down and<br />

She did the hoochie koochie real slow, wo wo,<br />

When she did her special number on a zebra skin,<br />

I thought she'd stop the show, wo wo,<br />

Singing, "Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!".<br />

She did a triple somersault and when she hit the ground,<br />

She winked at the audience and then she turned around.<br />

She had a picture of a cowboy tattooed on her spine,<br />

Saying Phoenix, Arizona, nineteen forty-nine.<br />

Yeah, but let me tell you people,<br />

Little Egypt doesn't dance there anymore, wo wo.<br />

She's too busy mopping and<br />

A taking care of shopping at the store, wo wo.<br />

'Cause we got seven kids and<br />

All day long they crawl around the floor, wo wo,<br />

Singing, "Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!"
