The Egypt Room
Intro: F#
F#mNow Hobnail Kelly and the Beefcake kid
Just Drolled into town from the laAnd of soBmwn-up faF#mces
ELooking for a woman who can Bpunch and Ekick and Abite
F#mSlide on down to the Egypt room
Find the Donly woman who's hAolding aBmll the aF#mces
The EPrincess is dancing at the BEgypt ERoom toAnight
Don't be Blate, don't be F#mlate, Don't be Blate
She's a nightclub floozy, nothing but a tramp
But she moves like a snake and she shimmies like a fish in the ocean
She can fool with a man 'till he doesn't know wrong from right
She's got diamonds flashing, ruby rings
She sparkles like the Nile when she does her original motion
The Princess is dancing at the Egypt Room tonight
Now don't be late, ah don't be late, oh don't be late
The man with the cane and Italian shoes
He walks like a lion looking for a lonely Christian
He peeps at the Princess and his bloodshot eyes open wide
He says, meet me, princess, after the show
I'm a gambling man and I think I like your system
I'll see you at the back of the Egypt Room tonight
Now don't be late, ah don't be late, oh don't be late
