King Tut Lyrics

Just in case you're..... enough to sing along to the song. Here are the lyrics courtesy of LYRICS007


King Tut (King Tut)
Now when he was a young man,
He never thought he'd see
People stand in line to see the boy king.

(King Tut) How'd you get so funky?
(funky Tut) Did you do the monkey?
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (king Tut).

(king Tut) Now, if I'd known
they'd line up just to see him,
I'd trade in all my money
And bought me a museum. (king Tut)

Buried with a donkey (funky Tut)
He's my favorite honkey!
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (king Tut)

Dancin' by the Nile, (Disco Tut)
The ladies love his style, (boss Tut)
Rockin' for a mile (rockin' Tut)
He ate a crocodile.

He gave his life for tourism.
Golden idol!
He's an Egyptian
They're sellin' you.

Now, when I die,
now don't think I'm a nut,
don't want no fancy funeral,
Just one like ole king Tut. (king Tut)

He coulda won a Grammy,
Buried in his Jammies,
Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia,
He was born in Arizona, got a condo made of stone-a,
King Tut!

King Tut - History and Music

This blogger is old enough to have seen BOTH Los Angeles Exhibits of the King Tutankhamun tour. I discovered this morning (did you set your clock back?) that in honor of the discovery of the tomb - 85 years after the discovery was made.

I'm also old enough to remember when Steve Martin sung his King Tut song. For those who missed it (which I'm still not sure if that will make you lucky or unlucky) - Here goes
