Steve Martin
Steve Martin:
I'd like to talk seriously just for a moment. One of the great art exhibitions
ever to tour the United States is the Treasures of Tutankhamen - or King
Tut.
But I think it's a national disgrace the way we have commercialized it with
trinkets and toys, T-shirts and posters. And three months ago I was up in the
woods, and I wrote a
song. I tried to use
the ancient modalities and melodies. I'd like to do it for you right now. Maybe
we can all learn something.
(King Tut.
King Tut.)
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)
Now if I'd known they'd line up just to see him
I'd have taken all my money and bought me a museum.
(King Tut)
Buried with a donkey.
(King Tut)
He's my favorite honky
(Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia
King Tut)
(Tut!
Tut!)
Dancing by the Nile!
(Disco Tut!
Tut!)
The ladies love his style!
(Boss Tut!
Tut!)
Walkin'
for a mile.
(Rockin'
Tut!
Tut!)
He ate a crocodile.
(Oooooh,
wah-ooooh)
He gave his life for tourism.

Steve Martin:
[ places electric blender at saxophonist's feet ] Golden Idols! He's an
Egyptian!
Steve Martin:
Now when I die, now don't think I'm a nut
Don't want no fancy funeral, just one like old King
Tut!
(King Tut)
He could have won a Grammy.
(King Tut)
Buried in his jammies.
(Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia
Born in Arizona)
Got a condo made o' stone-a
(King Tut)
Steve Martin gettin' down to those authentic Egyptian modalities
