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 shed 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 mopping and a-takin care of shopping at the store

Cos weve got seven kids and all day long they crawl around the floor

Singing ying-ying ying-ying ying-ying ying-ying
