[Cm] Till one day she found she'd [D] lost her job because [G] of that.
And to make it worse, she lost [Cm] her fella.
So [F] she took a trip to Egypt to [Cm] forget.
[D] But she made such a hit that she's [Gm] there [D] yet.

They like them funded that way out there.
[Dm] She has the [Ab] love of every fella.
[Fm] She does a dance with certain hearts [Ab] by the river Nile.
[F] That make all the boys [Fm] take their old flea parts [D] and throw them to the [G] crocodile.
