[G] [Gm] Ella was a [D] dancing [A] girl, started [D] getting fat.
Every day brought two more [Gm] pounds [Bbm] of Ella.
[Gm] And one day she found she [Db] lost her job because [D] of that.
And to make it worse, poor Ella lost [Gm] her fella.
[Cm] So she sailed off to Egypt [Gm] to forget.
[G] [A] But she made a hit and she's very [D] used.
So if [Gm] you hear the cats, shake your feet, it makes you think of her.
Make [D] their speaking of [Gm] Egyptian Ella.
Wasting 21 pounds, like plenty way out [D] there.
She's got the love [Gm] of every fella.
[Cm] When she knows the Simi, [Gm] she'll buy the liver and eye.
[Cm] Go and take your old [A] sweethearts and throw them to [D] the [Gm] crocodiles.
Every sheep's glory and cries out for why she's [D] immense.
They just love [Gm] Egyptian Ella.
