Poor king Tut, his frontdoor's always shut!
Though it nearly drove him nuts
He simply didn't have the guts
To leave his stoney hut
Poor king Tut, his frontdoor's always shut!
The air inside so stale and smelly
But he dared not parade the valley
In a kingly strut, Poor king Tutsinnarut!
Shabti's they might disagree
But they're not jolly company...
Tutankhamun, look what Carter's done
- Through the ages you lay sleepin'
All that time no-one came peepin'-
He let in the sun
Tutankhamun felt: "Now my life's begun"
'Cause he was just like one of us
Exept for his sarcophagus
"Now I can have some fun"
King Tut's havin' fun!
Half the world paid him a visit
Tutankhamun was a big hit...
Poor king Tut, his frontdoor's never shut!
hundreds pour in by the hour
Tut his mood is turnin' sour
He got what he wanted, but...
Poor king Tut, his frontdoor's never shut!
At night you hear him weep and moan:
"I wish they'd all leave me alone
I curse the whole damn lot!"
Poor king Tutsinnarut!
