EGYPTIAN ELLA



Ella was a dancing girl who started getting fat

Every day saw three more pounds on Ella

Until one day she found she'd lost her job because of that

And to make it worse, she'd lost her fella

She took a trip to Egypt to forget

And she made such a hit that she's there yet.





cho: So if you hear of a gal who can quake and shake

'Till it makes you think of a nervous snake

They're speakin' of Egyptian Ella

She weighs two-twenty but that's O.K.

They like 'em plenty down there that way

She has the love of every fella

And when she shakes and when she starts

Down by the River Nile

The boys all take their old sweet-hearts

And throw them to the crocodiles

And every sheik in the audience

Jumps up and yells that "She's immense!"

They're cheering for Egyptian Ella.



All the other dancers from the desert to the Nile

One by one admit that they are jealous

for although they dance each night and wear the sweetest smile

Ella's is the tent that draws the fellas

For Ella has a dance that they can't steal

'Cause nothing else could do it but an eel

So-o --(CHORUS)
