The Mummy Song (The Egyptian Trilogy), Pt. 1
[Verse 1]
You ought to see what they did to my mummy
Pulled his organs out of his tummy
Put 'em in spice, whacked 'em in a jar
Painted him up with sticky tar
Wrapped him in linen from his head to his toes
Pulled his brains out of his nose
That's not all the embalmers did
They buried my mummy in a pyramid!

[Chorus]
Ancient Egypt, down by the Nile
My mummy's gonna be in a tomb for a while
Fair go, Pharaoh, it's not funny
Tell King Tut I want my mummy

[Verse 2]
Mummy's in a coffin of shining gold
Lying in a tomb that's dark and cold
Jewels and treasures he'll never see
'Cause he's half the mummy he used to be
Dead as a doornail, blind as a bat
With a mummified dog, and a mummified cat
Don't ask me what my Daddy thinks
'Cause his chariot's parked at the local Sphinx
[Chorus]
Ancient Egypt, down by the Nile
Mummy's gonna be in a tomb for a while
Fair go, Pharaoh, it's not funny
Tell King Tut I want my mummy

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Some fellas with spades and a torch to see
Were doing some archaeology
Saw a glimmer, dug some more
Couldn't believe the things they saw
Ancient paintings, priceless jewels
They gave a shout, and dropped their tools
But the greatest treasure they found by far
Was a wrinkly mummy with its guts in a jar!

[Chorus]
Ancient Egypt, down by the Nile
Mummy's gonna be in a tomb for a while
Fair go, Pharaoh, it's not funny
Tell King Tut I want my...
Ancient Egypt, down by the Nile
Mummy's gonna be in a tomb for a while
Fair go, Pharaoh, it's not funny
Tell King Tut I want my mummy
Tell King Tut I want my mummy
Tell King Tut I want my mummy!
