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

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 equipped 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?

Hi girls
My name is Abdul
I drive one of those big gondolas up the Nile for the Pharaoh
He says old Abdul's one of his best gondola driving friends ???
After work you know you get through working in all those rushes and reeds and stuff
Well my gondolas got all the padded seat covers
And got an Egyptian stereo in it
You know it's got some cool stuff
We can, you know, we get off work from the Pharaoh about 6 o'clock
You think you like there a ???
Think you want to come and take a drive with old Abdul?
