Little Egypt

Little Egypt

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

Eu comprei um ingresso e sentei na primeira fila
Eles levantaram a cortina mas quando eles apontaram o holofote bem para baixo
Little Egypt apareceu andando firme, usando mais nada além de um botão e sorriso
Can-an-tando: ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying
Ela tinha um rubi na barriga e um diamante do tamanho do Texas no dedo
Ela soltou os cabelos e dançou o hoochie-coochie bem devagar
Quando ela fez seu número especial usando uma segunda pele eu achei que ela iria parar o show
Can-an-tando: ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying
Ela fez seu salto triplo e quando ela atingiu o chão
Ela piscou para a plateia e então se virou
Ela tinha a foto de um cowboy tatuada nas costas
Dizendo: Phoenix, Arizona, 1949
Sim, mas deixem-me contar, pessoal, Little Egypt não dança mais lá
Ela está muito ocupada esfregando o chão e cuidando das compras no mercado
Porque temos sete filhos e durante todo o dia eles engatinham pelo chão
Can-an-tando: ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying
