06 1951 Jerry Leiber Music,
?,ng Mike Sloller Music
Step right up. folks.

and see Little Egypt
do her famous

dance of the pyramid.
She walks...she talks...

she crawls

on her belly

like a reptile.
Just one thin dime...

one tenth of a dollar...

step right up. folks!
I went and

bought myself a ticket

and I sat down

in the very first row.
They pulled the curtain up
and when they turned the spotlight

way down low.
Little Egypt came out struttin'

wcarin' nothin'

but a button and a bow.
Singin'

yeah...yeah....

Yeah...yeah....
She had a ruby on her tummy

and a diamon' big as Texas

on her toe.
She let her hair down

and she did the hoochee koochee

real slow.
When she did a special number
on a zebra skin.

I thought she'd stop the show.
Singin'...

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.

sayin' Phoenix Arizona 1949.
Yeah. but let me tell you people.
Little Egypt

doesn't dance there any more.
She's too busy moppin'

and takixr care of shoppin'

at the store.
'Cause wewc got seven kids

and all day long they crawl

around the floor.
Singin'

Yeah...yeah....
Yeah...yeah....
Yeah...yeah....
Yeah....yeah....
