The Coasters Little Egypt lyrics

I went and bought myself a ticket
And I sat down in the very first row, wo wo
They pulled the curtain but then when
They turned the spotlight way down low, wo wo

Little Egypt came out strotting, wearing nothing
But a button and a bow, wo wo, 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, wo wo
She let her hair down and
She did the hoochie koochie real slow, wo wo

When she did her special number on a zebra skin
I thought she'd stop the show, wo wo, singing
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 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
Saying 'Phoenix, Arizona, 1949'

Yeah, but let me tell you people
Little Egypt doesn't dance there anymore, wo wo
She's too busy mopping and
A taking care of shopping at the store, wo wo

'Cause we got seven kids and all day long
They crawl around the floor, wo wo, singing
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"
