E Egyptian cream, she loves to smear She loves to smear it everywhere On her face and on her hands Til she feels like she's a man A G#m C#m B/F# And when the change comes and the hair grows all over her skin A G#m C#m B She's a natural; she's part of the body she's in E In the Sahara, there she lay On an ironing board one day She was gone for seven months Hadn't guessed what happened once A G#m C#m B/F# When they told her "You're pregnant" she threw up her hands A G#m C#m B And thousands of fingers grew out of the sand F# A E E____gyp___tian cream E Egyptian cream, she loves to smear She loves to smear it everywhere When you're sore, too sore to dream Try some more Egyptian cream A G#m C#m B/F# And when the change comes and the grass grows all over the mound A G#m C#m B The tadpoles come slithering out of the ground F# A E F# E____gyp___tian cream F# A E F# E____gyp___tian cream F# A E F# E____gyp___tian cream F# A E B5/F# E____gyp___tian cream
