Lyrics:
EGYPTIAN ELLA
as sung by Ted Lewis, Ted Weems Orch., Jack Hylton, and Milt Hirth

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!
