The grub was vile, we couldn't crack a smile
WE PAID TWENTY SMACKERS JUST TO SAIL UP THE NILE
It cos ten quid..
TO GET STUCK INSIDE A PPPPPYRAMID.

I'd rather be in Hawaii, CLEETHORPES OR SOUTHEND

Sphinx stinks, Sphinx stinks
IN CAI I I I RO
The Sphinx stinks, Sphinx stinks

The hotel room filled us with gloom
WE SHOULD O' SPENT THE NIGHT IN A MUMMY'S TOMB
A camel ride...
ANOTHER TEN SMACKERS AND A NUMB BACKSIDE.

<i>[Guitar Bit]</i>...
