Mother Feather – Egyptology lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Me and my man Tutankhamen
We've got some things in common
Golden from top to bottom
And royal spoiled rotten

I go where he go
I follow my pharaoh
To the underworld disco
Down in Old Cairo

[Chorus:]
Bury me baby
Underneath the bass boom
Afterparty's raging
Eternally in Tut's tomb
Take my life I'll rise again
To shake it like an ancient Egyptian

[Verse 2:]
Me and my girl Cleopatra
That queenie carpetbagger
All royal style and swagger
Kickin' asp and comin' atcha
Yo! Osiris
I'm twice as nice as Isis
Let me ride shotgun sarcophagus

[Chorus:]
Bury me baby
Underneath the bass boom
Afterparty's raging
Eternally in Tut's tomb
Take my life I'll rise again
To shake it like an ancient Egyptian

[Bridge:]
You can't take it with you
(can't take it, no you can't)
We're all going back to sky and sand
The only safe place is in the bass boom
It just gets dug up if it's in your tomb
So this is what we'll do:
You bring the hot licks
I've got lyrics
We can carve em out in
Golden hieroglyphics

[Chorus:]
Bury me baby
Underneath the bass boom
Afterparty's raging
Eternally in Tut's tomb
Take my life I'll rise again
To shake it like an ancient Egyptian
