SWINGING IN THE TOMBS OF EGYPT
WORDS & MUSIC: HANK “HOLY ROLLER” RAY
ROOF MUSIC / WARNER CHAPPELL, 1990
Blurred visions of a distant land
Where everything’s so easy, baby…where everything’s so grand
In my dreams…I walk away
In my dreams…I strut and sway
Down the boulevard of twilight to the hall of eternal joys
With a lotta crazy records that are my favorite toys
Then I meet my baby…queen of the desert sand
I kiss her rosy nipples and she holds my sweaty hand
And when we slide on down there…down into the grave
Her soft voice whispers, ‘darling, this is what I crave’
Let’s go swinging in…let’s go swinging in…let’s go swinging in the tombs
Let’s go swinging in…let’s go swinging in…let’s go swinging in the tombs
The tombs of Egypt
Down the boulevard of twilight to the hall of eternal joys
With a lotta crazy records that are my favorite toys
The mighty Sphinx is shaking to the rhythm of of the drum
The holy river Nile keeps flowing - forever on and on
My harem choir sings a plaintive song of love and hate
And I go out of my head when I hear my baby say
Let’s go swinging in…let’s go swinging in…let’s go swinging in the tombs
Let’s go swinging in…let’s go swinging in…let’s go swinging in the tombs
The tombs of Egypt
The tombs of Egypt
The tombs of Egypt
The tombs of love
The tombs of love
The tombs of love
The tombs of love
The tombs of love
The tombs of love
