| THAT OLD FASHIONED MUMMY OF MINE 2005 Version The famous TITLE SONG from Two on the Nile, or That Old Fashioned Mummy of Mine Music, book and lyrics by Janna McCall (Ridolphi) Geller Originally sung by Mike Hodel on the Janus Company Radio Theatre, KPFK Los Angeles. Later recorded by Mallory and Bruce Conner (not at the same time!) Re-dedicated to the revisit of the Tut and other artifacts and the lovely queen’s mummy case in brilliant gold. (Don't miss that show if it comes to your town!) In the style of the 1920s (Think Rudy Vallee) VERSE: Sweethearts come in many shapes and sizes: Tall and thin or short and slightly stout. Some of them are fair; some have raven hair, But each of them epitomizes what a sweetheart's all about, Yes! .... Sweethearts come in many dif'rent guises: Five feet two or even six foot four. Princess, vamp or nun; sweethearts every one! But there's none quite like the sweetheart I adore! CHORUS: 1. She's that Old Fashioned Mummy of Mine, She's got a certain something I can't quite define. Maybe it's the magic of a mummy's case of gold, Or maybe I've a special thing for women very, very old. She's ripe with the wisdom of age; A Red Hot Mummy now-a-days is all the rage. So wrap me up in Mummy love, I'll gladly toe the line For that Old Fashioned Mummy of Mine. 2. Repeat from top of chorus with Kazoo solo or whistle (16 measures) I dream of our own cozy room For there are far too many tourists in her tomb Each day I come to Mummy Dear But I must stand in line For that Old Fashioned Mummy--I like getting chummy with That Old Fashioned Mummy of Mine. Encore: tag (To 2nd half of chorus) An Old Fashioned Mummy’s divine; For each and every one they should erect a shine. I heat up carbon dating my eternal concubine: That Old Fashioned Mummy–I like getting slummy with That Old Fashioned Mummy of mine!

| REALLY WANT IT NOW?! A while back a bunch of ukulele players of all skill levels who linger on the Flea Market Music bulletin board put together a couple of CDs. Everything submitted was included, so the collection is unusual. We're on Volume One, with Mallory singing and Janna playing uke. You can order it from: It costs $1 but there is a substantial shipping cost. This is a CD like very few--except perhaps Volume 2! |
