Lyrics: Yes
 
I went and bought myself a ticket and
I sat down in the very first row, wo wo
They pulled the curtain up
And when they turned the spotlight way down low, wo wo
Little Egypt came out strutting
Wearing nothing but a button and a bow, wo wo
Singing
Ying-yang, ying-yang
Ying-yang, ying-yang
 
She had a ruby on her tummy
And a diamond big as Texas on her toe, wo wo.
She let her hair down
And she did the hoochie-coochie real slow, wo wo
When she did her special number on a zebra skin
I thought they'd stop the show, wo wo
Singing
Ying-yang, ying-yang
Ying-yang, ying-yang
 
She did a triple somersault and when she hit the ground
She winked at the audience and then she turned around
She had a picture of a cowboy tattooed on her spine
Saying Phoenix, Arizona, nineteen forty-nine
 
Yeah, but let me tell you people
Little Egypt doesn't dance there anymore, wo wo
She's too busy mopping
And a taking care of shopping at the store, wo wo
'Cause we got seven kids
And all day long they crawl around the floor, wo wo
Singing
Ying-yang, ying-yang
Ying-yang, ying-yang
