Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah I opened up this here history book And flipped my lid when I took a look There on page two-nineteen Was this here Egpytian Queen Although she lived in 44 BC Cleopatra is the chick for me (CHORUS) I'm gonna build a time machine So I can go back and make the scene I'm gonna make some time With my Egyptian Queen In my little old time machine Pretty soon, I'll be making the gig When I set the doodad on my thingamajig I'm gonna crank and turn the dial Very soon, I'll be on the Nile Holding hands with my Cleo kid Setting in the shade of a pyramid (CHORUS) She got a daddy rich as old King Tut I hear her mommy's all wrapped up Got a room of diamonds on every shelf When I walk in, she'll say, help yourself I'll fill my pockets and after a while We'll make some time Nineteen-six-oh style (CHORUS) Look at that girl go Like she sure is? Like, wow, get the snake Away from my girl Oh, no, it's too late
