Little Egypt:The Coasters.
#23 on Rock charts & #16 on R&B
in 1961.
#1.
[D]I went and bought myself a ticket and
I sat down in the very first [D7]row, whoa [D]whoa.
[G]They pulled the curtain and then when
they turned the spotlight way down [G7]low, whoa, [G]whoa.
Little [A]Egypt came out strutting, wearing nothing but a
button and a [A7]bow, whoa, [A]whoa.
Singing, [G]Ying yang, Ying Yang..[D]Ying yang, Ying yang...
#2.
[D]She had a ruby on her tummy and a diamond big
as Texas on her [D7]toe, whoa, [D]whoa.
[G]She let her hair down and she did the hoochie-koochie
real [G7]slow, whoa, [G]whoa.
[A]When she did her special number on a Zebra skin,
I thought she'd stop the [A7]show, whoa, [A]whoa.
Singing, [G]Ying yang, ying yang..[D]ying yang, ying, yang..
CHORUS:
[D]She did a triple somersault and [D#]when she hit the ground,
she [E]winked at the audience and [F]then she turned around.
She had a [F#]picture of a cowboy [G]tattooed on her spine,
it said, [G#]Phoenix, Arizona, nineteen forty-nine.
#3.
Yeah, but, [D]let me tell you people, Little Egypt doesn't
dance there any[D7]more, whoa, [D]whoa.
[G]She's too busy mopping and taking care of shopping
at the [G7]store, whoa, [G]whoa.
[A]Cause we got seven kids and all day long they
crawl around the [A7]floor, whoa, [A]whoa.
Singing, [G]Ying yang..ying yang..[D]ying yang..ying yang(x2)(fade)
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
