[Cm] [B] [Eb] [F] [D] [Cm]
If you hear of a gal who can shake and quake, she'll make you think of the nervous [G] snake
they're speaking of, [Cm] Egyptian Ella.
She weighs 220, but they don't care, they like them plenty, that way out there [G] she has
the love of [Cm] every fella.
[Fm] She does her dance, and when she starts [Cm] by the river Nile, [Fm] the boys all take their old
sweethearts [D] and throw them to [G] the [Cm] crocodile.
Every sheik in the audience jumps up and offers her a loving tent, [G] oh how they love [Cm] Egyptian Ella.
