Kitty from Cairo

(Original music by D. Cohen.)

I'm Kitty from Cairo, my heart is afire,
I'm hardly a tyro,
I've sure got that swing.
I make sure you're deserving before I start lerving
Then hey, dinga ding.

When the Colonel's grumpy and the camels are humpy
And the porridge is lumpy,
They all send for me.
I never quite trying to send troubles flying,
They all adore me.

I show all the Aussies the real dinkum possies
And they get around - they get around,
An air raid won't scare 'em
From any good harem -
They just go underground.

Egyptian mummies now they weren't all dummies,
They know what to do - I'm telling you.
The Sphinx was a lady, but her past was shady -
They hey, hedy, hey.

"The Horse that Wooden," 1941.
