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.

I went and bought myself a ticket

And I sat down in the very first row, wo wo

They pulled the curtain but then

When they turned the spotlight way down low, wo wo

Little Egypt came out strotting

Wearing nothing but a button and a bow, wo wo

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, wo wo

She let her hair down

And she did the hoochie koochie real slow, wo wo

When she did her special number on a zebra skin

I thought she'd stop the show, wo wo

Singing, "Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah''

She did a 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 tattooed on her spine

Saying Phoenix, Arizona, nineteen forty-nine

Yeah, but let me tell you people

Little Egypt doesn't dance there anymore, wo wo

She's too busy mopping

And a taking care of shopping at the store, wo wo

'Cause we got seven kids

And all day long they crawl around the floor, wo wo

Singing, "Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah''
