I went and bought myself a ticket and I sat down in the very first row
They pulled the curtain up and when they turned the spotlight way down low
Little Egypt came out struttin' wearin' nothin' but a button and a bow
Singing, "ying-yaing, ying-yaing, ying-yaing, ying-yaing"
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 hootchy-kootchy real slow
When she did her special number on a zebra skin I thought she'd stop the show
Singing, "ying-yaing, ying-yaing, ying-yaing, ying-yaing"
She did a triple somersault an' when she hit the ground
She winked at the audience an' then she turned around
She had a picture of a cowboy tatooed on her spine
Sayin', "Phoenix, Arizona 1949"
Yeh, let me tell you people Little Egypt doesn't dance there anymo'
She's too busy moppin' and a-takin' care of shoppin' at the sto'
'Cos we've got seven kids and all day long they crawl around the floor
Uh, singing, "ying-yaing, ying-yaing, ying-yaing, ying-yaing"
