well here we are in Ancient Egypt now
there's the ancient Sphinx
the valley of the Kings
and there's 10,000 cobras
just waiting to bite you in the pants
and here we are in ancient Egypt now

ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

well here we are in Ancient Egypt now
there's the Amenhotep IV
there's Amenhotep II
and there goes Cleopatra
you know she's making eyes at you
and here we are in ancient Egypt now

ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

hi girls
my name is Abdul
well I'm one of them uh chariot drivers for the Pharoah
you know what I mean?
well I got one of them chariots
and equiped with an Egyptian stereo
and its got Egyptian carpeting and all
now when you girls there are through working in all those rushes and reeds and stuff
why don't you take a ride with old Abdul?
You know we could go up the Nile, I get off work at 6 o'clock
You know what I mean?
Well we could have a great time you know what I mean?
You see what I'm driving at? You know what I'm sayin?

(get lost Abdul)

Get lost? What do you mean get lost?
What are you talking about?
no no no

(we think that you're a big jerk)

What do you mean?
You can't call Abdul a jerk you know

here we are in Ancient Egypt now
there's Amenhotep III
there's Amenhotep II
and there old Cleopatra
you know she's making eyes at you
and here we are in ancient Egypt now

ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
