E

egyptian cream , she loves to smear
she loves to smear it everywhere
on her face and on her hands
til she feels like she’s a man

A G#m C#m B/F#

and when the change comes and the hair grows all over her skin

A G#m C#m B

she’s a natural; she’s part of the body she’s in

E

in the sahara , there she lay
on an ironing board one day
she was gone for seven months
hadn’t guessed what happened once

A G#m C#m B/F#

when they told her “you’re pregnant” she threw up her hands

A G#m C#m B

and thousands of fingers grew out of the sand

F#m A E

E

egyptian cream , she loves to smear
she loves to smear it everywhere
when you’re sore , too sore to dream
try some more egyptian cream

A G#m C#m B/F#

and when the change comes and the grass grows all over the mound

A G#m C#m B

the tadpoles come slithering out of the ground
