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).
(King Tut) Now, if I’d known
They’d line up just to see you,
I’d trade in all my money
And bought me a museum. (King Tut)
Buried with a donkey (Funky Tut)
He’s my favorite honky!
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (King Tut)
Dancin’ by the Nile, (Disco Tut)
The ladies love his style, (Waltzing 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,
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, lived in a condo made of stone-a,
King Tut
looks like Steve Martin?
Interesting that the nose appears to be partially smashed. Sometimes they did that to sort of “erase” the memory of the person.
If so, was Tut “renounced” by officialdom some time after he died?
And if so, why?
If it was looted from the Karnak temple, it belongs to Johnny Carson.
HERE is an older one from 1923, Edison Records.
Song Title: OLD KING TUT
Subtitle: In Old King Tutenkhamens Day
Type: Song
Composer: Harry Von Tilzer
Lyricist: William Jerome
Copyright: 1923
Publisher: Harry Von Tilzer Music Co., New York
Cover Artist: Ags Czabo
Notes: Written just after the discovery of King Tuts tomb.
The Beechnut ancestry is perhaps a way to imply that Tuts genealogy was suspect (which it certainly is, if Cleopatra sat on his knee). The phrase may come from the use of roasted beechnuts as a substitute for coffee, hence an ersatz lineage.
In old King Tut-Tut-Tut-enkhamens day,
Beneath the tropic skies King Tut-Tut-Tut was very wise,
Now old King Tut-Tut-Tut was always gay,
Cleopatra she sat upon his knee, Pat! thats where she sat.
Now old King Tut was just a nut as you can see,
Still proud was Tut about his Beechnut ancestry.
A thousand girls would dance each day,
With lots of hip-hip-hip-hooray,
In old King Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut, King Tuttys Day.
His tomb instead of tears, Was full of Souveniers,
He must have travelled greatly in his time
The gold and silver ware, That they found hidden there,
Was from hotels of evry land and clime.
While going thru his royal robes they found up in his sleeve,
The first love letter Adam wrote to Eve.
CHORUS:
In old King Tut-Tut-Tut-enkhamens day,
The dancers then in style
Would even make the old Sphinx smile,
In old King Tut-Tut-Tutenkhamens day,
On the desert sand old King Tuttys band
Played while maidens [sic] swayed.
Theyd dance for old King Tut neath moonlit skies so warm,
They wore such happy smiles and were in perfect form.
Theyd dance for him both fat and thin,
He didnt care what shape theyre in,
In old King Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut, King Tuttys Day.

Maybe the nose was broken more recently. Could this Prince Raimondo be related to the VP of Oberlin?
I thought Victor Buono was great as King Tut. He really hammed it up in that role.
Thanks BenLurkin.
The nose tends to stick out and when a statue gets tipped, it strikes the ground first. It also appears that this part of a larger bas relief sculpture was chipped out by local Egyptian thieves and sold, the damage could have happened at that time. Could also have been deliberate vandalism by some superstitious ***holes.
Tut Tut Tootsie, Goodbye
