The Egypt Room 
 
Intro: F#

F#m                         
Now Hobnail Kelly and the Beefcake kid
     D 				 A       Bm      F#m
Just rolled into town from the land of sown-up faces
E                           B         E        A
Looking for a woman who can punch and kick and bite
F#m
Slide on down to the Egypt room
         D 		   A       Bm      F#m
Find the only woman who�s holding all the aces
    E                          B     E      A
The Princess is dancing at the Egypt Room tonight

         B              F#m            B
Don�t be late, don�t be late, Don�t be late

She�s a nightclub floozy, nothing but a tramp
But she moves like a snake and she shimmies like a fish in the ocean
She can fool with a man �till he doesn�t know wrong from right
She�s got diamonds flashing, ruby rings
She sparkles like the Nile when she does her original motion
The Princess is dancing at the Egypt Room tonight

Now don�t be late, ah don�t be late, oh don�t be late

The man with the cane and Italian shoes
He walks like a lion looking for a lonely Christian
He peeps at the Princess and his bloodshot eyes open wide
He says, meet me, princess, after the show
I�m a gambling man and I think I like your system
I�ll see you at the back of the Egypt Room tonight

Now don�t be late, ah don�t be late, oh don�t be late
