We went to see the King Tut exhibit down at the Franklin Institute. It really was pretty amazing to see all the artifacts from 3000 years ago. The small gold canopic coffinette was terrific and the detail of the statues was really remarkable. We just got back so it all has not sunk in .
King Tut
( (c) 1978 Steve Martin - Wild and Crazy Guy )
King Tut (King Tut)
Now when he was a young man,
He never thought he’d see
People stand in line to see the boy king.
(King Tut) How’d you get so funky?
(funky Tut) Did you do the monkey?
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (king Tut).
(king Tut) Now, if I’d known
they’d line up just to see you,
I’d trade in all my money
And bought me a museum. (king Tut)
Buried with a donkey (funky Tut)
He’s my favorite honkey!
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (king Tut)
Dancin’ by the Nile, (Disco Tut)
The ladies love his style, (waltzing Tut)
Rockin’ for a mile (rockin’ Tut)
He ate a crocodile.
He gave his life for tourism.
Golden idol!
He’s an Egyptian
They’re sellin’ you.
Now, when I die,
don’t think I’m a nut,
don’t want no fancy funeral,
Just one like ole king Tut.
(King Tut)
He coulda won a Grammy,
Buried in his Jammies,
Born in Arizona,
moved to Babylonia,
He was born in Arizona,
lived in a condo made of stone-a,
King Tut
