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
