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)
(Tut, Tut) Dancin' by the Nile, (Disco Tut, Tut)
The ladies love his style, (boss Tut, Tut)
Rockin' for a mile (rockin' Tut, Tut)
He ate a crocodile
He gave his life for tourism
Golden idol!
He's an Egyptian
They're selling you!
{Instrumental bridge}
Now, when I die
Now don't think I'm a nut
Don't want no fancy funeral
Just one like old king Tut. (king Tut)
He coulda won a Grammy, (king Tut)
Buried in his Jammies, (king Tut)

Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia
He was born in Arizona, got a condo made of stone-a
King Tut!

(King Tut) Now, if I'd known
They'd line up just to see him
I'd taken 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)

Robbers might have been there because a bag of
gold rings was found on the floor, as if dropped in
haste. But they did not take everything because
Carter and his team found many treasures inside
the tomb including a solid gold mask of King Tut's
face.
The artifacts in Tut's tomb told archaeologists and
scientists a great deal about ancient Egyptian daily
life. Many people all over the world became
interested in learning more about ancient Egypt
because of the exciting discovery of an ancient
tomb full of treasure.
