Mummy's humor!

Today we saw the the King Tutankhamun, Golden Age of the Pharaohs exhibition at the Dallas Museum of Art. Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous! We had a great time, but the whole time the Steve Martin song was running through my head!

Now when he was a young man,
He never thought he'd see
People stand in line
to see the boy king.

(King Tut) How'd you get so funky?
(funky Tut) Did you do the monkey?
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (king Tut).

(king Tut) Now, if I'd known
they'd line up just to see him,
I'd trade in all my money
And bought me a museum. (king Tut)

Buried with a donkey (funky Tut)
He's my favorite honkey!
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (king Tut)

Dancin' by the Nile, (Disco Tut)
The ladies love his style, (boss Tut)
Rockin' for a mile (rockin' Tut)
He ate a crocodile.

He gave his life for tourism.
Golden idol!
He's an Egyptian
They're sellin' you.

Now, when I die,
now don't think I'm a nut,
don't want no fancy funeral,
Just one like ole king Tut. (king Tut)

He coulda won a Grammy,
Buried in his Jammies,
Born in Arizona,
moved to Babylonia,

He was born in Arizona,
got a condo made of stone-a,King Tut!
