E

Egyptian cream, she loves to smear
She loves to smear it everywhere
On her face and on her hands
Til she feels like she's a man

A          G#m      C#m   B/F#

And when the change comes and the hair grows all over her skin

A       G#m     C#m     B

She's a natural; she's part of the body she's in

E

In the Sahara, there she lay
On an ironing board one day
She was gone for seven months
Hadn't guessed what happened once

A        G#m      C#m     B/F#

When they told her "You're pregnant" she threw up her hands

A      G#m     C#m     B

And thousands of fingers grew out of the sand

F#m A   E

E____gyp___tian cream

E

Egyptian cream, she loves to smear
She loves to smear it everywhere
When you're sore, too sore to dream
Try some more Egyptian cream

A          G#m       C#m   B/F#

And when the change comes and the grass grows all over the mound

A       G#m    C#m    B

The tadpoles come slithering out of the ground

F#m A   E  F#m

E____gyp___tian cream

F#m A   E  F#m

E____gyp___tian cream

F#m A   E  F#m

E____gyp___tian cream

F#m A   E  B5/F#
