Elvis Presley - Little Egypt lyrics

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 a-struttin`

wearin` nothin` but a button and a bow

Singing, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying

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-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying

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 tatooed on her spine

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 ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying
