Elvis Presley - Little Egypt Lyrics
(words & music by leiber - stoller)I went and bought myself a ticket and I sat down in the very first rowThey pulled the curtain but then when they turned the spotlight way down lowLittle egypt came out a-struttin wearin nothin but a button and a bowSinging, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-yingShe had a ruby on her tummy and a diamond big as texas on her toeShe let her hair down and she did the hoochie-coochie real slowWhen she did her special number on the zebra skin I thought shed stop the showSinging, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-yingShe did her triple somersault and when she hit the groundShe winked at the audience and then she turned aroundShe had a picture of a cowboy tatooed on her spineSaid, phoenix, arizona 1949Yeh, let me tell you people little egypt doesnt dance there anymoreShes too busy mopping and a-takin care of shopping at the storecos weve got seven kids and all day long they crawl around the floorSinging ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying
