I went away to Egypt to work there for a while And fell in love with Tara, the flower of the Nile
I had to make some money so she and I could wed And so I got a job there working on a pyramid
The pharaoh of all Egypt, a crummy little creep Would come out almost every day inspecting in his jeep
He had a big fat stomach, a little pointed head And everyone that saw him thought he was already dead
And then one day it happened
Then the pharaoh of Egypt came out to see how we were doing on his creepy crypt
He took one look at Tara and him she did beguile The next thing that I knew he took her sailing down the Nile
So I crept into the pharaoh's crypt and cried All alone there in that creepy crypt I cried
I saw him sail away from me
I saw me my Tara at his side And so I crept into the crypt and cried
The rest of my sad story is hard for me to tell They had a royal wedding, they rang the wedding bell
I watched until she promised to be his faithful bride
And when she said I'd do
I crept into the crypt and cried
Yes, I crept,
Into the pharaoh's crypt and cried
All alone there in that creepy crypt I cried
I lost my little flower And my tears I could not hide
And so I crept into the crypt and cried
All alone there in that creepy crypt I cried
Yes, I crept into the pharaoh's crypt and cried
