Intro
Now Hobnail Kelly and the Beefcake kid
Just rolled into town from the land of sown-up faces
Looking for a woman who can punch and kick and bite
Slide on down to the Egypt room
Find the only woman whos holding all the aces
The Princess is dancing at the Egypt Room tonight
Dont be late, dont be late, Dont be late
Shes 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 doesnt know wrong from right
Shes 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 dont be late, ah dont be late, oh dont 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
Im a gambling man and I think I like your system
Ill see you at the back of the Egypt Room tonight
Now dont be late, ah dont be late, oh dont be late
