E

Egyptian cream, she loves to smear

She loves to smear it everywhere

On her face and on her hands

Til she feels like she's a man
A G#m C#m B/F#

And when the change comes and the hair grows all over her skin
A G#m C#m B

She's a natural; she's part of the body she's in
E

In the Sahara, there she lay

On an ironing board one day

She was gone for seven months

Hadn't guessed what happened once
A G#m C#m B/F#

When they told her "You're pregnant" she threw up her hands
A G#m C#m B
