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
