(Rod Mckuen)

[Narration with instrumental background]

Mummy: I'm a mummy. I scare people. Watch what happens when I walk up to
Somebody.

I'm a mummy.
First person:

Mummy: I was born one thousand nine hundred and fity-nine years ago. My
Daddy was a mummy, too. Watch what happens when I walk up to somebody.

I'm a mummy.
Second person:

Mummy: I don't try to scare people. I really came back to life to buy a
Copy of "Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb", but people run from me.
Watch what happens when I walk up to somebody.

I'm
A mummy.
Third person:

Mummy: I wish there was somebody somewhere who wasn't afraid of me. Oh,
Well. Watch what happens when I walk up to somebody.

I'm a mummy.
Beatnik: That's cool.
Mummy: I'm a mummy.
Beatnik: You mean you're a mother.
Mummy: No, I'm a mummy.
Beatnik: I'm a beatnik.
Mummy: People are afraid of me.
Beatnik: Yeah, I'll bet.
Mummy: I was born one thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine years ago.
Beatnik: Oh, yeah, like that's a long gig.
Mummy: Where can I buy a copy of "Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb"?
Beatnik: Oooh, man, I don't dig that trash. You know like Brubeck,
Sherwin, modern jazz quartet?
Mummy: I'm a mummy.
Beatnik: Man, you got a warped groove.
Mummy: Aren't you afraid of me? Aren't you gonna scream?
Beatnik: Oh, yeah, like "help."
