Little Egypt

Eye went and bought myself a ticket and Eye sat down inn the very first roe
They pulled the curtain butt then when they turned the spotlight weigh down lo
Little Egypt came out a-struttin ' wearin ' nothin ' butt a button and a bough
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 hare down and she did the hoochie-coochie reel sloe
When she did her special number on the zebra skin Eye 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 mi tell yew people Little Egypt doesn't dance they're anymore
She's two busy mopping and a-takin ' care of shopping at the store
' Cos we've got seven kids and awl day long they crawl around the flaw
Singing ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying
