Cue up “King Tut” on the turn table...
Old King Tut
Stephen DeRosa (1923)
Beneath the tropic skies King Tut-Tut-Tut was very wise,
Now old King Tut-Tut-Tut was always gay,
Cleopatra she sat upon his knee, Pat! thats where she sat.
Now old King Tut was just a nut as you can see,
Still proud was Tut about his Beechnut ancestry.
A thousand girls would dance each day,
With lots of hip-hip-hip-hooray,
In old King Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut, King Tuttys Day.
His tomb instead of tears, Was full of Souveniers,
He must have travelled greatly in his time
The gold and silver ware, That they found hidden there,
Was from hotels of evry land and clime.
While going thru his royal robes they found up in his sleeve,
The first love letter Adam wrote to Eve.
CHORUS:
In old King Tut-Tut-Tut-enkhamens day,
The dancers then in style
Would even make the old Sphinx smile,
In old King Tut-Tut-Tutenkhamens day,
On the desert sand old King Tuttys band
Played while maidens [sic] swayed.
Theyd dance for old King Tut neath moonlit skies so warm,
They wore such happy smiles and were in perfect form.
Theyd dance for him both fat and thin,
He didnt care what shape theyre in,
In old King Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut, King Tuttys Day.
“Born in Babylonia, moved to Arizonia, King Tut!”
