Lyrics

Step right up folks and see Little Egypt do famous dances of the pyramids! She walks, she talks, she crawls on her belly like a reptile Just one thing dime, one thing flip a dime Step right up folks! I went and bought myself a ticket And I sat down in the very first row, whoa-whoa They pulled the curtain but then when They turned the spotlight way down low, whoa-whoa Little Egypt came out strutting Wearing nothing but a button and a bow, whoa-whoa 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, whoa-whoa She let her hair down And he did the hoochie-koochie real slow, whoa-whoa When she did her special number on a zebra skin I thought she'd stop the show, whoa-whoa 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, 1949" Yeah, but let me tell you people Little Egypt doesn't dance there anymore, whoa-whoa She's too busy mopping And a-taking care of shopping at the store, whoa-whoa 'Cause we got seven kids And all day long they crawl around the floor, whoa-whoa Singing, "Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah!" Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah!
