Lyrics

Making A Mummy

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Of Egyptian kings we know o so many things

'Cause the archaeologists have dug their tombs

Now we're here to show how to treat a dead Pharaoh

Make a mummy that can decorate your room

First your dead king's laid on a table where his brain

Is pulled out with a wire through his nose

The his guts and lungs, stomach, liver must be bunged

In four jars so they do not decompose

Pour out salt to dry, on the body let it lie

There for 40 days until it mummifies

Then in bandages wrap up the body, leave a gap

For the mouth and pop in artificial eyes

In the coffin cold lay out prayers in little scroll

That will guard him on his journey far ahead

Pack his tomb with wealth, which he'll need for his health

If he makes it to the country of the dead

Now you've done your job there are villains who will rob

So our mummy and its coffin we defend

Build a pyramid high so it points up to the sky

Place your dead king deep inside and that's the end
