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

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
Pequeño Egipto
Fui y me compré un boleto y me senté en la primera fila
Tiraron de la cortina, pero cuando giraron el foco hacia abajo
El pequeño Egipto salió pavoneándose con sólo un botón y un arco
Cantando, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying
Tenía un rubí en la barriga y un diamante grande como Texas en el dedo del pie
Se bajó el pelo y se hizo el hoochie-coochie muy lento
Cuando hizo su número especial en la piel de cebra pensé que pararía el espectáculo
Cantando, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying
Ella hizo su triple salto mortal y cuando golpeó el suelo
Guiñó un ojo a la audiencia y luego se dio la vuelta
Tenía una foto de un vaquero tatuado en su columna vertebral
Said, Phoenix, Arizona 1949
Sí, déjenme decirles que el pequeño Egipto ya no baila allí
Está muy ocupada limpiando y cuidando de ir de compras en la tienda
Porque tenemos siete hijos y todo el día se arrastran por el suelo
Cantando ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying
