A little archaeological tale...hope you dig it
[instrumental intro]
I used to think it was just an old yarn
But this mummy is causing alarm
Now I'm certain I will come to harm
Accursed; King Tut - don't pry up his remains
Because that guy you dug up once held the thrown
The curse; Tut - best leave sleepin'
Leave him alone
Disturbed mummy comes creepin'
When he comes at you that mummy does lurch
You'll want to run right out of here into church
[brief instrumental break]
That chill haunts me; I've turned white
Tut's tomb freaks me out; I fear I will die
Now my future just doesn't seem bright
'Cause if I'm caught my life goes down the drain
Bye-bye!
Save me; he's rising once again now, oh-oh
Oh -
That curse just doesn't leave us
Quaking; I moan
Accursed Tut; Oh, dear Jesus
Now I'm trembling and in fright I'm immersed
Now I'm flipping out; my heart may soon burst
[instrumental break]
Yes, he'll haunt you 'cause he's riled
'Cause his resting place has now been defiled
And the vengeance that he takes won't be mild
You messed with Tut; you won't do that again
Mummy's alive again; my fear it does grow
Oh, no, oh
It seems nuts, but believe it
Mummy; he groans
Disturbed Tut; now it grieves us
'Cause a mummy's tomb should not be disturbed
When that's done he's sure to be perturbed
Oh, woe, oh
A hearse comes to retrieve us
Look out below!
Cursed by Tut; Rest in Peace, yes
Don't pry him up, my friend
I used to think it was just an old yarn
But this mummy is causing alarm
Now I'm certain I will come to harm
Accursed; King Tut - don't pry up his remains
Because that guy you dug up once held the thrown
The curse; Tut - best leave sleepin'
Leave him alone
Disturbed mummy comes creepin'
When he comes at you that mummy does lurch
You'll want to run right out of here into church

Oh Mummy! Very hilarious and original. 555
wrapped up beautifully
Nicely flowing parody. I liked it, Paul! 5's
If I knew hieroglyphics, I'd use them to give you 5s.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
I LOVE Sheryl's version of this OS, and had a right little chuckle at this parody. 555
I liked all your variations on the title, paul, esp "Accursed Tut; Oh, dear Jesus" - 555
Kristof - Me too - it's really a great song - did you know none other than a very young Cat Stevens wrote and recorded a version way back in the 60's? Stuart - yeah, it was fun to do...I was kinda partial to "It seems nuts, but believe it", just because it was a total switch but still worked with the main story-line.
Oh, yeah...more Sheryl Crow (and James Taylor) stuff tomorrow...
Five scarab rings.
This is very good Paul! I used to like Cat Steven's version of "First Cut Is The Deepest". I like the originality in this as well. 555
2Eagle & Jason - Thanks!
Wrap it up, I'll take it. 555
Thanks, Agri...
Sheryl Crowe? Yet ANOTHER singer for this OS? Eeeek! Anyway, this was a great parody Paul.
Mer - Yup, Sheryl Crow...and I think her version is by far the best I've heard...plus she looks great in the video version...lol...
