LYRICS:

Tutankhamun Ho!

Tutan, Tutan, Tutankhamun Ho!

Tutan, Tutan, Tutankhamun.

 

Yo, here’s the thing, check out my bling

It’s all tat-for-Tut

Got more illicit gifts than Jabba the Hutt

Like this thing on my skin?

So thin and leopard-y

Leopard wasn’t real so I was never in jeopardy.

 

Your normal loin cloth comes with maybe 50 stitches

Look at mine, 200 in the house with my britches.

I’m the head of the gang, Macho Man, Mr Boss

Though I’m partial to a weave, eye-liner and lip-gloss.

 

Take one look at my togs; everybody loves my collection of gloves

Have a good look down there; I’m a king of stylish underwear

Listen to the people diss you, everyone sing ‘you can’t take it with you’

But I say don’t be gloomy, look and see how my tomb is so roomy.

 

Tutan, Tutan, Tutankhamun Ho!

Tutan, Tutan, Tutankhamun.

 

So many things to show you as you come into my portal

No idea how long before I wake ‘cos I’m immortal.

Got a jackal-headed God with the funny pointed ears

These jars are for my organs (lungs and stomach go in here).

 

This little board of Senet, sure I’ll get some games in

With no-one else to play against I’m always gonna win.

Got this monogrammed fan to help me keep a cool head

‘Cos you never know how hot you’re going to get when you are dead.

 

I’m gonna pop my clogs surrounded by gold and jewel dogs

Take away your breath – oh, not literally please (scared of death).

Hope is a mortal thing, it’s true, otherwise all this bling

Is fine for surviving captive, but personally, I’d rather live.
