Tom: Gm

G                                                                         G7
They pulled the curtain, but then when they turned the spotlight way down lo-o-ow
       A7
Little Egypt came out a-struttin', wearin' nothin' but a button and a bo-o-ow

[Chorus]
N.C.        G            G7           D            D7
Singing and yi-i-i-ing,  yi-i-i-ing,  yi-i-i-ing,  yi-i-i-ing

[Verse 2]
G7        D                                                   D7
She had a ruby on her tummy and a diamond big as Texas on her toe-oe-oe
G                                                          G7
She let her hair down and she did the hoochie-coochie real slo-o-ow
G        A7
When she did her special number on a zebra skin, I thought she'd stop the sho-o-ow

[Chorus]
N.C.        G            G7           D            D7
Singing and yi-i-i-ing,  yi-i-i-ing,  yi-i-i-ing,  yi-i-i-ing

[Verse 3]
D/G       D                     Eb
She did a triple somersault and when she hit the ground
    E                          F
She winked at the audience and then she turned around
          Gb                   G                            Ab                        N.C.
She had a picture of a cowboy, tattooed on her spine, said: Phoenix, Arizona nineteen-forty-nine (yeah)

[Verse 4]
D
Let me tell you people, Little Egypt doesn't dance there anymo-o-ore
G                                                          G7
She's too busy moppin' and a-takin' care o'shoppin' at the sto-o-ore
A7
Cause we've got seven kids and all day long they crawl around the flo-o-or

[Outro]
N.C.             G            G7           D            D7           G
Gah, singing and yi-i-i-ing,  yi-i-i-ing,  yi-i-i-ing,  yi-i-i-ing,  yi-i-i-ing
