(Words & music by Leiber - Stoller)

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 [bad word] #39; wearin' nothin' but a button
and a bow
Singing, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying

She had [bad word] 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
