"Little Egypt" lyrics
"Little Egypt"
(from "Elvis (NBC TV Special)" soundtrack)
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 struttin'
Wearing nothin' but a button and a bow
Singing, "Ying-yang, ying-yang
Ying-yang, ying-yang"
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-yang, ying-yang
Ying-yang, ying-yang"
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
Heh
Singing, "Ying-yang, ying-yang
Ying-yang, ying-yang, ying-yang"...
