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

F#m A E B5/F#
