I opened up this here history book
And flipped my lid when I took a look.
There on page 219
Was this here Egpytian queen.
Although she lived in 44 BC,
Cleopatra is the chick for meI'm going to build a time machine
So I can go back and make the scene.
I'm going to 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'll pull the 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 pyramidShe got a daddy rich as old King Tut.
I hear her mummy'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.Look at that girl go!
Like, she sure is copacetic!
Like, wow!
Get that snake away from my girl!
Oh, no! It's too late!
I’ve never been able to find out out where the word ‘copacetic’ comes from...
(It’s supposed to mean something like ‘all right’...)
