Take Me Back to Old Cairo    Words and Music  Anthony Lee 1989

Take me back to old Cairo 
Money hi and moral low 
take me back to old Cairo 
That's where I long to be 

Pluck an olive from the tree 
plop it in my martini
so seductive with her fig 
let me tell you what she did 

Belly dancing by the Nile
Taken by a crocodile 
So upset Akhenaten
Let me tell you what he done 

Chorus 
The Mastaba Ptah-Hotep
Resting on the River Nile 
the Palace Of Queen Nefertiti
Guarded by her Crocodile 
I Yi Yi Yi Yi Yi 

Dancing on the golden sand 
Pharaohs walking hand in hand 
Chewing dates from dawn till dusk 
Pick their teeth with ivory tusk 

Deep inside the Pharaohs tomb 
Mummies wrap dance not much room 
Tutankhamen dance some more 
Always gets the highest score 

Mid 8 
I sphinx I love you 
I sphinx I love you 
I sphinx I love you 
I sphinx I ho hum  Oh Ptah-Hotep

In the pot a perfect brew 
Camel hair and monkey doo 
throw an eyeball in there too 
now we have our Sunday Stew

In the land of mighty Kings 
Harem girls do naughty things 
move their bodies to and fro 
take me back to old Cairo


Chorus 
The Mastaba Ptah-Hotep
Resting by the River Nile 
the Palace Of Queen Nefertiti
Guarded by her Crocodile 
I Yi Yi Yi Yi Yi 

(Solo)

Take me back to old Cairo 
Money hi and moral low 
take me back to old Cairo 
That's where I long to be

(Solo)

Take me back to old Cairo 
Money hi and moral low 
take me back to old Cairo 
That's where I long to be
