Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One last thing
If you bought my album
And you came down here expecting me
To do a a lot of routines from the record
And I didn't do them, maybe one or two
There's a reason for that
I think performers have to move on
You just can't do the same old material
Over and over and over
And it's kind of a cheat, I think
To rely on the same stuff
And if you don't agree with me
Well, excuse me
[Verse 2]
Thank you and goodnight
[Verse 3]
You know, one of the greatest art exhibits
Ever to tour the United States
Is the treasures of Tutankhamun or "King Tut"
[Verse 4]
(King Tut)
[Verse 5]
(King Tut) Now, when he was a young man
He never thought he'd see
(King Tut) People stand in line
To see the boy king
[Verse 6]
(King Tut) How'd you get so funky?
(Funky Tut) Did you do the monkey?
(Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia)
(King Tut)
[Verse 7]
(King Tut) Now, if I'd known
They'd line up just to see 'im
(King Tut) I'd taken all my money
And bought me a museum
[Verse 8]
(King Tut) Buried with a donkey
(Funky Tut) He's my favorite honky
(Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia)
(King Tut)
[Verse 9]
Dancin' by the Nile
(Disco Tut) The ladies loved his style
(Boss Tut) Rockin' for a mile
(Rockin' Tut) He ate a crocodile
(Oh) He gave his life for tourism
(King Tut)
[Verse 10]
(Tut, Tut)
(Tut, Tut) Golden idols
(Tut, Tut)
(Tut, Tut)
[Verse 11]
(Tut, Tut)
(Tut, Tut) He's an Egyptian
(Tut, Tut)
(Tut, Tut)
(Oh) They're sellin' you
(King Tut)
[Verse 12]
(King Tut) Now, when I die
Now, don't think I'm a nut
(King Tut) Don't want no fancy funeral
Just one like old King Tut
[Verse 13]
(King Tut) He coulda won a Grammy
(King Tut) Buried in his jammies
(Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia)
(He was born in Arizona) Got a condo made of stone-a
(King Tut)
[Verse 14]
Thank you, goodnight, thank you
