“Egypt Sunset”
Come and see the Egypt Sunset,
Drop right down below the Sphinx.
If you come, you will see,
Egypt has most everything.
Things like pharaohs,
Things like mummies,
Pyramids were built so high.
Come and see the Nile River,
Nile has so much to give.
If you come, you will see,
Nile has most everything.

“If you Explore Ancient Egypt”
If you explore Ancient Egypt,
So many sights there you will see.
There are the tombs with ancient mummies,
Hieroglyphics and the Sphinx.
And all the kings and all the queens and
All the games that they played.
We hope you like Ancient Egypt
And all the things that you find

“Quicksand”
Quicksand, quicksand
Sinking in the quicksand
Quicksand, quicksand
Sinking in the quicksand
Riding in the Caravan
Sinking in the sand
Hope you save our caravan
Sinking in the sand

“The Nile Makes Me Smile”
Down by the Nile
Pharaoh floods it just for us
Come grow your crops here
The soil we can trust
Grow some corn, grow some wheat
These are things that we can eat
Grow some figs, grow some vines
These are things from the divine
“Crocodile Pools”
Crocodile Pools
You must know the temple rules
In case you ever run across the
Crocodile Jewels

“King Tut Strut”
Egypt is my home,
I’m a pharaoh in a tomb
King Tut what a guy,
On his throne way in the sky
Valley of the Kings,
Richness, splendor, everything.
I’m a mummy, I’m no dummy
Gold and silver saved me.

“No Mummy, No Cry”
No mummy no cry,
No mummy no cry.
No mummy no cry,
No mummy no cry.
Said I remember when we used to sit,
Near the pyramids in Giza.
Obba, obba serving the pharaoh,
As he talked with the good people we met.
(Chorus at top)
Everything’s gonna be alright,
Everything’s gonna be alright.
Everything’s gonna be alright,
Everything’s gonna be alright.
(Chorus at top)

“My Mummy’s So Neat”
Ooh I need your wraps babe
Guess you know it’s true.
Hope you need my wraps babe,
Just like they need you.
Wrap your, mummy
Wrap your, mummy
I ain’t got nothin’ but wraps babe
My mummy’s so neat.
My mummy’s so neat,
He’ll chase you.
My mummy’s so neat,
He’s all wrapped up and has no hair.
(Back to top)
End by repeating: My mummy’s a freak
2x

“Mummy Waltz”
Mummy, mummy
Wrapped in linen, my
Mummy, mummy
Wrap him and spin
Mummy, mummy
Lye in the tomb, my
Mummy, Mummy
Stay in your room
Come out at night you crazy mummy
Come out at night to meet all your friends. (2x)

“Alexander the Great”
Alexander the Great,
He is here to liberate
Egypt from the Persian’s reign
Feeling there’s so much to gain.
Greeks say they are here to stay,
Some want them to go away.
Should they stay or should they go?
Someday we are sure to know.
Alexander the Great,
It makes such a good debate
Should he stay or should he go?
Someday we are sure to know?

“Cleopatra Feels Fine”
Cleopatra sings, ya know
She’s happy as can be, ya know
She said so.
Cleopatra sings and she feels fine.
Cleopatra’s fine, ya know
She’s happy all the time, ya know
She said so.
Cleopatra sings and she feels fine.
I’m so glad that Cleopatra sings,
She’s so glad she has her golden rings.
Cleopatra sings, ya know
She’s got her golden rings, ya know
She said so.
Cleopatra sings and she feels fine.
Cleopatra sings and she feels fine.
Cleopatra sings and she feels fine.

“Hey Mr. Sphinx”
Hey Mr. Sphinx,
I see you’re facing the sun
Body of Lion and Head of a man
Will you protect
All the pharaoh’s near by
From any harm
In the tombs that they lye
Do not disturb any tombs in your path
Or else you will feel the pain
Of Sphinx’s wrath

“King Tut”
King Tut singin’ in the dead of night.
Take your broken things and learn to fly.
All your life,
You were only waiting
For this moment to arise.
King Tut singin’ in the dead of night.
Take your sunken eyes and learn to see.
All your life,
Your were only waiting
For this moment to be free.
King Tut fly….
King Tut fly….
Into the light of a dark black night.

“Long Live King Tut”
We’ve been through some things together
With tombs of memories still to come
We found things to do in stormy weather.
Long live King Tut!
Long live King Tut,
Long live King Tut.
Although these changes have come.
With your gold mask shinin’ in the sun
Long live King Tut.
It was back in the Valley in 1922
When they discovered your tomb.
But they missed that gold, hidden in your heart.
Long live King Tut.

“Egyptian Baby Boy”
He’s a little baby boy,
Playing with his sister’s toy.
Growing up so very fast,
These are things I wish would last.
Baby Boy, Egyptian Baby Boy
Baby Boy, Egyptian Baby, Baby Boy
“Ancient Egypt Math”
Counting, Ancient Egypt counting,
Counting, Ancient Egypt Math.
Counting, Ancient Egypt counting,
Counting, Ancient Egypt Math.
One was shown by a single stroke,
Ten, by a hobble.
One hundred shown by a rope
Ancient Egypt Math.

“Papyrus”
Papyrus, grows like grass
Makes our paper,
It’s no faker.
Papyrus, makes our mats,
Makes our sandals,
Papyrus.
“Alexander’s in a Race”
Come and see his face,
Alexander’s in a race.
Come and see his face,
Alexander’s in a race.
He’ll come back again,
On the Mediterranean.

“Cleopatra”
Cleopatra, walkin’ down the street.
Cleopatra, kind I’d like to meet.
Cleopatra, I don’t believe you,
You’re not the truth.
No other Pharaoh is like you.
Mercy, Mercy…
Cleopatra, won’t you pardon me.
Cleopatra, couldn’t help but see.
Cleopatra, you’re as lovely as can be.
Are you a pharaoh just like me?
Cleopatra stop awhile,
Cleopatra talk awhile,
Cleopatra give your smile to me.

“Learning to Swim”
Well it started out,
On a sandy road.
It started out,
All alone.
I saw a mirage,
As I crossed the hill.
When I got there,
My cup couldn’t fill.
I’m learning to swim,
Across the Nile.
The hardest part,
Is that it takes awhile.
The good old days,
May not return.
The rocks might melt,
The sea may burn.

I’m learning to swim,
Across the Nile.
The hardest part,
Is that it takes awhile.
