         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# 

E____gyp___tian cream
