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

Chord diagramA augmentedA                    Chord diagramG# minorG#m            Chord diagramC# minorC#m      B/F#

And when the change comes and the hair grows all over her skin

Chord diagramA augmentedA              Chord diagramG# minorG#m         Chord diagramC# minorC#m          Chord diagramBB

She's a natural; she's part of the body she's in

Chord diagramE MajorE

In the Sahara, there she lay
On an ironing board one day
She was gone for seven months
Hadn't guessed what happened once

Chord diagramA augmentedA                Chord diagramG# minorG#m           Chord diagramC# minorC#m          B/F#

When they told her "You're pregnant" she threw up her hands

Chord diagramA augmentedA            Chord diagramG# minorG#m          Chord diagramC# minorC#m         Chord diagramBB

And thousands of fingers grew out of the sand

E____gyp___tian cream

Chord diagramE MajorE

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

Chord diagramA augmentedA                    Chord diagramG# minorG#m             Chord diagramC# minorC#m      B/F#

And when the change comes and the grass grows all over the mound

Chord diagramA augmentedA             Chord diagramG# minorG#m        Chord diagramC# minorC#m        Chord diagramBB

The tadpoles come slithering out of the ground
