THE MUMMY BLUES

(Verse 1) I woke up this morning, all wrapped in old rags, Can't find my coffee, and my bandages sag, My tomb's a mess, dust's all over the floor, Every time I sneeze, I unravel more! (Chorus) I've got the Mummy blues, and it's a curse! I'm tryin' to stay wrapped, but it's gettin' worse, My life's in ruins, I just want to snooze, But here I am, with these Mummy blues! (Verse 2) My bandage game’s sloppy, it's frayed at the seams, And this sarcophagus? It ain't what it seems, It's too darn tight, I can't stretch my bones, And my pharaoh neighbors won’t stop throwin' stones! (Chorus) I've got the Mummy blues, oh it's a fright, Stumblin' through the pyramids all day and night, I just wanna rest, but what can I choose? I’m cursed to walk with these Mummy blues! (Bridge) I see folks run when I come around, Hey, I just need some gauze and a trip to town! But the sphinx won’t listen, the jackals just howl, Guess I’ll shuffle back to my tomb for a prowl... (Verse 3) Now even my sarcophagus creaks and complains, The curse is a drag, like a ball and chain, I’d sell my soul for a spa day or two, But instead, I’m stuck with these mummy blues. (Final Chorus) I've got the Mummy blues, buried too long, Wrapped up in trouble, can't do nothin' wrong, You’d think I'd rest, but I still pay my dues, Cursed to sing the old Mummy blues! (Outro) Yeah, I’m cursed to sing... These Mummy bloooo-ooh-oooooooos... (Man, somebody hand me some tape!)
