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
