Little Egypt – Elvis Presley lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
I went and bought myself a ticket and I sat down in the very first rowThey pulled the curtain but then when they turned the spotlight way down lowLittle Egypt came out a-struttin’ wearin’ nothin’ but a button and a bowSinging, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-yingShe had a ruby on her tummy and a diamond big as Texas on her toeShe let her hair down and she did the hoochie-coochie real slowWhen she did her special number on the zebra skin I thought she’d stop the showSinging, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-yingShe did her triple somersault and when she hit the groundShe winked at the audience and then she turned aroundShe had a picture of a cowboy tattooed on her spineSaid, Phoenix, Arizona 1949Yeh, let me tell you people Little Egypt doesn’t dance there anymoreShe’s too busy mopping and a-takin’ care of shopping at the storeCause we’ve got seven kids and all day long they crawl around the floorSinging ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying, ying-ying Dịch sang Tiếng Việt
