Little Egypt(Chords)

	        
 
 
D 
I went and bought myself a ticket  
and I sat down in the very first row 
G 
They pulled the curtain then  
they turned the spotlight way down low 
A 
Little Egypt came out a-struttin'  
wearin' nothin' but a button and a bow 
 
(HOLD) 
Singing, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah 
 
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, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah 
 
D 
She did her triple somersault  
    D# 
and when she hit the ground 
    E 
She winked at the audience  
     F 
and then she turned around 
          F# 
She had a picture of a cowboy  
G 
tatooed on her spine 
      G# 
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, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
