Ray Stevens - Little Egypt lyrics

rate me

Step right up, folks

And see Little Egypt do her

Famous dance of the Pyramids

She walks, she talks

She crawls on her belly

Like a reptile

Just one thin dime

One tenth of a dollar

Step right up, folks

I went and bought myself a ticket

And I sat down in the very first row

They pulled the curtain up and when

They turned the spotlight way down low

Little Egypt came out strutting

Wearing nothing but a

Button and a bow

Singing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Gitchee gitchee gitchee

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

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 koochie real slow

When she did her special

Number on a zebra skin

I thought she'd stop the show

Singing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Gitchee gitchee gitchee

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

She's too busy mopping and a taking

Care of shopping at the store

Cause we've got seven kids

And all day long they crawl

Around the floor

Singing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Gitchee gitchee gitchee

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
