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-strutting
Wearing nothing 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 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 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 ying-ying, ying-ying
Ying-ying, ying-ying...
