The Egypt Room Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

F♯

F♯mNow Hobnail Kelly and the Beefcake kid

Just Drolled into town from the laAnd of soBmwn-up faF♯mces

ELooking for a woman who can Bpunch and Ekick and Abite

F♯mSlide on down to the Egypt room

Find the Donly woman who’s hAolding aBmll the aF♯mces

The EPrincess is dancing at the BEgypt ERoom toAnight

Don’t be Blate, don’t be F♯mlate, Don’t be Blate

She’s a nightclub floozy, nothing but a tramp

But she moves like a snake and she shimmies like a fish in the ocean

She can fool with a man ‘till he doesn’t know wrong from right

She’s got diamonds flashing, ruby rings

She sparkles like the Nile when she does her original motion

The Princess is dancing at the Egypt Room tonight

Now don’t be late, ah don’t be late, oh don’t be late

The man with the cane and Italian shoes

He walks like a lion looking for a lonely Christian

He peeps at the Princess and his bloodshot eyes open wide

He says, meet me, princess, after the show

I’m a gambling man and I think I like your system

I’ll see you at the back of the Egypt Room tonight

Now don’t be late, ah don’t be late, oh don’t be late
