Ella was a dancing girl who started getting fat And every day brought three more pounds to Ella Till at last poor Ella lost her job because of that And what's worse, poor Ella lost her fella. So she went to Egypt to forget. She was such a hit that she's there yet; If you hear of a girl who can shake and quake Till it makes you think of a nervous snake They're speaking of Egyptian Ella. She weighs two-twenty, but they don't care, They like 'em plenty that way out there She has the love of ev'ry fella. When she goes into her dance By the river Nile The boys all take their old sweethearts And throw 'em to the crocodile! Ev'ry sheik in the audience Jumps up and hollers that she's immense Oh how they love Egyptian Ella. Yes sir, ladies and gentlemen, Step right this way, See Egyptian Ella Why she even That's right Just like jelly on a plate! Yes sir! She's a great big gal In a great big land The boys all give her a great big hand Ev'ry sheik in the audience Jumps up and offers his love in tents Oh how they love Egyptian Ella!
