The Mummy
The Slackers Lyrics

So here it come
The mummy is approaching

Living in a pyramid
The mummy lives in a pyramid

If you ask me why I stay
Someone is asking why the singer stays

And fill me with such dread
The thought of the mummy fills the singer with dread

I said why ask about why the nose is always coloured red
The singer deflects the question and doesn't answer directly by bringing up an irrelevant fact about Egyptian art.

I said why
The singer repeats the question to avoid answering it

Why cause she's the mummy
The reason for the singer's fear is the mummy

He always walks in
The mummy always approaches

From up on that hill
The mummy comes from a hill

With a beady little triangle egypt eye
The mummy has a bead or jewel on its forehead in the shape of an Egyptian eye.

on the back of your dollar bill
The same image appears on the back of the US one-dollar bill.

And if the devil himself don't get it
The mummy is so powerful that not even the devil himself can stop it

Well lord knows one day i will
The singer will eventually succumb to the mummy

Cause she's a mummy
The singer reiterates the reason for being afraid

Some call it robbery
Some people think the mummy is stealing from them

Some call it rape
Some people think the mummy is violating them

When he call you up now baby
When the mummy calls you, don't be late

I figure don't be late
The singer emphasizes the importance of not being late when the mummy calls

Cause he's gonna wrap you up
The mummy will wrap you up in bandages like a mummy if you don't show up.

In his red red tape when he starts to calculate
The mummy's plan is insidious

I said uhhh Watch out
Beware! Be cautious!

cause she's a mummy (yeah)
The singer restates the reason for concern

When you see him coming
If you see the mummy coming

Lord you better get
You better run away or hide

If you don't know what he want
If you don't know what the mummy wants

His name rhymes with it Mummy
The mummy's name rhymes with the word 'mummy'

He's going to wrap you up baby
The mummy is going to wrap you up like a mummy

He take your cup ___
The next word is inaudible, but it's implied that the mummy will take something else from you.

I say uhhhh watch out
The singer reiterates the need for caution.

Cause she's a mummy
The mummy is the source of danger

So I said if you get scared
The singer is giving advice to the listener

About ghouls & ghost
If you get scared by ghosts

Well he's the one
The mummy is the one you should be afraid of

That you should fear the most
Out of all the things to be afraid of, the mummy is the one you should be most afraid of

And waiting for your baby
The mummy is waiting for someone

He's waiting for you down on 210 Eastpost Rd
The mummy is waiting for you on Eastpost Rd

I said uhhhhh watch out
The singer is warning the listener once again

Cause she's a mummy (yeah)
The singer is reasserting the reason for concern.

One more time
The singer intends to repeat the warning

I said watch out
Another warning from the singer

Cause she's a mummy
The source of danger is once again reiterated
