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. 

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 moppin' and a-takin' 
Care of shoppin' at the store 
'Cause we've got seven kids and all day long 
They crawl around the floor. 

Singing ying-ying, ying-ying, 
Ying-ying, ying-ying...
