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 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 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
