The Egypt Room Richard & Linda Thompson

[Verse 1]
Now Hobnail Kelly and the Beefcake Kid
Just rolled into town from the land of sewn-up faces
Looking for a woman who can punch and kick and bite
Slide on down to the Egypt Room
Find the only woman who's holding all the aces
The Princess is dancing at the Egypt Room tonight

[Chorus]
Don't be late (Don't be late)
Don't be late (Don't be late)
Don't be late

[Verse 2]
She's a nightclub floosie, nothing but a tramp
But she moves like a snake
And she shimmies like a fish in the ocean
She can fool with a man till he doesn't know wrong from right
She got diamonds flashing, ruby rings
She sparkles like the Nile when she does her original motion
The Princess is dancing at the Egypt Room tonight

[Chorus]
Now don't be late (Don't be late)
Ah don't be late (Don't be late)
Oh don't be late
