I checked all of those (and the Australian Library and Oxford - other useful sources for sheet music) without success too. There are 2 copies at the UCLA Digital Sheet Music Archive (search for Egyptian), but it must be under copyright - I could only view the cover and the index record - the view sheet music link wasn't there for the song.

The version at redhotjazz linked by Q above is different from the one Sorcha posted, so I'll give that here. I'll try and make up a lead sheet for the song if I've got time.

EGYPTIAN ELLA
(Walter Doyle)

Verse:
Ella was a dancing gal who started getting fat
Well every day brought two more pounds to Ella.
Till one day she found she'd lost her job because of that,
And then to make it worse, she lost her fella.
So she took a trip to Egypt to forget,
But she made such a hit that she's there yet.

Chorus:
Well, if you hear of a gal who can shake and quake
Till it makes you think of a nervous snake
They're speaking of Egyptian Ella.

Why, 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.

Bridge:
Oh she does a dance with certain parts,
By the river Nile,
That make all he boys take their old sweethearts
And throw them to the crocodiles.

Chorus:
And ev'ry sheik in the audience
Jumps up and offers her love intense
Oh how they love Egyptian Ella.

Instrumental Break

Chorus:
Well the boys hang around while she plainly states
That she doesn't care a fig about dates,
So they can't make Egyptian Ella.

But a sheik tried to kidnap her once I'm told
Why she shook so much that he lost his hold
Oh, he couldn't take Egyptian Ella

Bridge:
So the pasha wrote her a royal note,
With his royal fist,
That said because of the dance she does
She's on his royal wedding list

Chorus:
And that's how fame of a different sort
Has come at last from an indoor sport
To our own Egyptian Ella.

Instrumental finish
