“Mummy Dance” lyrics

Verse 1:

From the Kingdom of Nye

To the Valley of the Kings

Osirus leads the dead in the foxtrot and the swing

In a tomb, in a vault, on a concrete slab

The mummies have awoken and they’re starting up a fad

Cleopatra’s in the house and she’s looking mighty fine

King Tut’s getting down and he’s chilling out on wine

Cruisin’ the scene along the Nile

Life by the pyramids is getting hella wild

Chorus:

Get down with the mummies and do the Cha Cha

Get down with the mummies like Nephren-Ka

Get down with the mummies and shake your Ba Ka

From Cairo to Luxor to Aswan, and into the sun

Verse 2:

There’s a sweet old Pharaoh, he won’t leave me alone

He phones me night and day from the catacombs

Waking the dead from the ancient past

Everybody says our love won’t last

Well raptors screamed and thunder struck

As we rendezvoused off to our time-soaked hut

And there by the Nile, the Gods conspired

To sing us the song that fuels our desire

Chorus:

Get down with the mummies and do the Cha Cha

Get down with the mummies, let’s dance for Ra

Get down with the mummies and shake your Ba Ka

From Cairo to Luxor, we’re tripping, right into the sun

Bridge:

Mummies dancing in the streets

DJ’s making all the beats

Sacred temples come alive

As our two worlds collide

Chorus: 

Get down with the mummies and do the Cha Cha

Get down with the mummies, it’s not that macabre

Get down with the mummies and shake your Ba Ka

From Cairo to Luxor, let’s shake it, right into the sun
