Little Egypt

Capo 1

D
I went and bought myself a ticket
and I sat down in the very first row
G
They pulled the curtain then
they turned the spotlight way down low
A
Little Egypt came out a-struttin'
wearin' nothin' but a button and a bow

(HOLD)
Singing, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

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, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

D
She did her triple somersault
    D#
and when she hit the ground
    E
She winked at the audience
     F
and then she turned around
          F#
She had a picture of a cowboy
G
tatooed on her spine
      G#
Said, Phoenix, Arizona 1949

Yeh, 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
'Cos we've got seven kids and
all day long they crawl around the floor
Singing, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
