Old King Tut

Three thousand years ago, King Tutty reigned, you know
He must have travelled greatly in his time
For in his tomb out there, was gold and silverware
From big hotels of every land and clime
While going through his royal robes, they found up in his sleeve
The first fig leaf that Adam gave to Eve

In old King Tut-Tut-Tut-enkhamen's day
Beneath the tropic skies, King Tut-Tut-Tut was very wise
Now old King Tut-Tut-Tut was always gay
Cleopatra, she sat upon his knee, Pat! That's where she sat

The girls would dance for him and every move a treat
They'd move and move and move, but never move their feet
A thousand girls would dance each day
With lots of hip-hip-hip-hooray!
In old King Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut, King Tutty's day

Three thousand years ago, in history, we know
King Tutenkhamen ruled a mighty land
He ruled for many years, 'mid-laughter, song and tears
He made a record that will always stand
They opened up his tomb the other day and jumped with glee
They learned a lot of ancient history

In old King Tut-Tut-Tut-enkhamen's day
The dancers then in style would even make the old sphinx smile
In Old King Tut-Tut-Tut-enkhamen's day
On the desert sand, old king Tutty's band played while made in suede
They danced for old King Tut, if moonlit skies so warm

They wore such happy smiles, and were in perfect form
They'd dance for him, both fat and thin
He didn't give a damn what shape they're in
In old king Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut, King Tutty's day

Why Sam from Alabama would not run one, two, three
Oh, what a marquee B for old Mark Antony
A real Egyptian well-dressed man wore nothing but a coat of tan
In old king Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut, King Tutty's day
