the egypt room

now hobnail kelly and the beefcake kid

just rolled into town from the land of sewn-up faces

looking for a woman who can punch and kick and bite

slide on down to the egypt room

find the only woman who's holding all the aces

the princess is dancing at the egypt room tonight

don't be late

don't be late

don't be late

she's a nightclub floosie

nothing but a tramp

but she moves like a snake and she shimmies like a fish in the ocean

she can fool with a man till he doesn't know wrong from right

she's got diamonds flashing

ruby rings

she sparkles like the nile when she does her original motion

the princess is dancing at the egypt room tonight

now don't be late

ah don't be late

oh don't be late

the man with the cane and italian shoes

he walks like a lion looking for a lonely christian

he peeps at the princess and his bloodshot eyes open wide

he says meet me
