Lyrics
When Elias Came From Egypt
Music and Lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
Now when Elias came from Egypt,
He came with palm leaves in his hand.
And when Elias came from Egypt,
His shoes were filled with desert sand.
But now Elias is all USA
And Uncle Sam's his biggest fan.
VERSE 2:
Now when Elias came from Egypt,
Sahara wind was in his hair.
And when Elias came from Egypt
His clothes were Middle Eastern fare.
But now Elias is all USA,
And Yankee pinstripes all he'll wear.
BRIDGE:
You've seen him cruisin' down the Suez,
Paddlin' down the Nile,
Chasin' belly dancers,
LOOK OUT! for that crocodile.
Talkin? to pretty French girls
Until they run away.
And drinkin' that Turkish coffee
'Til the night turns into day.
VERSE 3:
Now when Elias came from Egypt,
He didn't know what he would find.
And when Elias came from Egypt,
He had adventure on his mind.
But now Elias is all USA,
He's left the pyramids behind,
Get on you camel now -
LET'S RIDE!
VAMP:
Oh, that Elias,
He came from Egypt.
Yeah that Elias,
He came from Egypt.
