From the sheet music at The Lester S. Levy Collection of Sheet Music:

TUT-ANKH-AMEN (A TUT TROT)
Words and music by Laurena Van Valkenburg

1. Tut-ankh-amen reigned on earth three thousand years ago.
A great and mighty king was he, but now a relic show.

CHORUS: Poor King Tut, they put him in a hut
All paved with jewels and gold.
Ev'rything is out of style 'less it's just in from the Nile,
So now we'll have to Tut awhile.
Cute little Jeff will find that he is left,
Also Charlie and Mut,
For the latest feat, that has got 'em beat,
Is King Tut.

2. They opened his sacred tomb and brought him out to see
All the astounding wonders of nineteen-twenty-three.
