King Tut
King Tut (King Tut)
Now when he was a young man
He never thought he'd see (King Tut)
People stand in line
To see the boy king (King Tut)
How'd you get so funky (Funky Tut)
Did you do the monkey
(Born in Arizona)
(Moved to Babylonia, King Tut)
(King Tut) Now, if I'd known
They'd line up just to see him (Funky Tut)
I'd trade in all my money
And bought me a museum (King Tut)
Buried with a donkey (Funky Tut)
He's my favorite honky
(Born in Arizona)
(Moved to Babylonia, King Tut)
Dancin' by the Nile (disco Tut)
The ladies love his style (boss Tut)
Rockin' for a mile (rockin' Tut)
He ate a crocodile
He gave his life for tourism (King Tut)
(Tut, tut, tut, tut)
Golden idol
(Tut, tut, tut, tut)
He's an Egyptian
(Tut, tut, tut, tut)
They're sellin' you (King Tut)
Now, when I die
Now don't think I'm a nut
Don't want no fancy funeral
Just one like ole King Tut (King Tut)
He coulda won a Grammy (King Tut)
Buried in his Jammies
(Born in Arizona)
(Moved to Babylonia)
(He was born in Arizona)
Got a condo made of stone-a
King Tut

A Few Facts Courtesy of Wikipedia
King Tut is a 1978 novelty song performed by Steve Martin and the "Toot Uncommons" (actually members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band). The original performance was telecast on the April 22, 1978 episode of Saturday Night Live. A live performance of the song was included on Martin's LP A Wild and Crazy Guy.
The song paid homage to Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun and presents a caricature of the sensational Treasures of Tutankhamun travelling exhibit that toured seven United States cities from 1976 to 1979. The exhibit attracted approximately eight million visitors. In the Saturday Night Live version of King Tut, loyal subjects appease a joyful King Tut with kitchen appliances. An instrumental solo is delivered by a moustached saxophone player (Lou Marini) who steps out of a sarcophagus to great laughter.
Tutankhamun Trivia:
For the song King Tut, Steve Martin was accompanied by "The Toot Uncommons," actually members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

- Steve Martin is a comedic genius, and Kin Tut is a classic skit. I have seen several variations of it, but none are as good as his original. 5*
