The frustrations of trying to become friends with a mummy

Lyrics

YOU CAN'T GET TOO CHUMMY WITH A MUMMY!
By Sandy Sherman & Miriam Cutler

Long ago near the River Nile
Was a tomb in the pyramid style
Thousands of years passed by
Then they found a mummy inside

Ya da da du da ...ya da da du da.....ya da da da du do ya

CHORUS:
But you can't get too chummy with a mummy
He's like nobody else
No you can't get too chummy with a mummy
'Cause he's all wrapped up in himself

Ya da da du da ...ya da da du da.....ya da da da du do ya
Ya da da du da ...ya da da du da.....ya da da da du do ya


I asked him "When you're feeling..
Would you like to play together"
But he didn't reply
He looks like a very strange guy

Ya da da du da ...ya da da du da.....ya da da da du do ya

CHORUS REPEAT:


I tried to make him laugh at riddles
Then I even played my fiddle
He just sat there and stared
I can't get anywhere

Ya da da du da ...ya da da du da.....ya da da da du do ya

CHORUS:

No you can't get too chummy with a mummy
Though you try and try again
No you can't get too chummy with a mummy
He's not much of a friend

Ya da da du da ...ya da da du da.....ya da da da du do ya

Spoken:
Maybe I can give him my bicycle ......Or take him to Disneyland.... I wonder if they'll let him in. Maybe if I dress him up a little nicer. I wonder if my parents would mind if he came home to dinner tonight........to fade
