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 bowSinging, ying-ying, ying-ying
Ying-ying, ying-yingShe 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 shed stop the showSinging, ying-ying, ying-ying
Ying-ying, ying-yingShe 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 1949Yeah, but let me tell you people
Little Egypt doesnt dance there anymore
Shes too busy mopping
And a-takin care of shopping at the store
Cause weve got seven kids
And all day long they crawl around the floorSinging ying-ying, ying-ying
Ying-ying, ying-ying
