Little Egypt

Lyrics

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'
 Wearing 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 she'd stop the show
 Singing, ying-ying, 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 tattooed on her spine
 Said, "Phoenix, Arizona 1949"
 Yeah, but 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
 'Cause we've got seven kids
 And all day long they crawl around the floor
 Singing, ying-ying, ying-ying
 Ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying
