Little Egypt

Pequeño Egipto

Little Egypt

Fui y me compré un boleto y me senté en la primera fila
I went and bought myself a ticket and I sat down in the very first row
Tiraron de la cortina, pero cuando giraron el foco hacia abajo
They pulled the curtain but then when they turned the spotlight way down low
El pequeño Egipto salió pavoneándose con sólo un botón y un arco
Little Egypt came out a-struttin' wearin' nothin' but a button and a bow
Cantando, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying
Singing, 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
She had a ruby on her tummy and a diamond big as Texas on her toe
Se bajó el pelo y se hizo el hoochie-coochie muy lento
She let her hair down and she did the hoochie-coochie real slow
Cuando hizo su número especial en la piel de cebra pensé que pararía el espectáculo
When she did her special number on the zebra skin I thought she'd stop the show
Cantando, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying
Singing, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying
Ella hizo su triple salto mortal y cuando golpeó el suelo
She did her triple somersault and when she hit the ground
Guiñó un ojo a la audiencia y luego se dio la vuelta
She winked at the audience and then she turned around
Tenía una foto de un vaquero tatuado en su columna vertebral
She had a picture of a cowboy tatooed on her spine

Sí, déjenme decirles que el pequeño Egipto ya no baila allí
Yeh, let me tell you people Little Egypt doesn't dance there anymore
Está muy ocupada limpiando y cuidando de ir de compras en la tienda
She's too busy mopping and a-takin' care of shopping at the store
Porque tenemos siete hijos y todo el día se arrastran por el suelo
'Cos we've got seven kids and all day long they crawl around the floor
Cantando ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying
Singing ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying
