Lillian, Egypt

[Verse 1] I remember back in Illinois, I found her The lily of the valley, the lily of the West was a rose The daughter of the biggest big town banker He kept her like a princess, I stole her like the Fort Knox gold She used to pour Four Roses like it's goin' down the chimney Like the bottle was on fire, the boiler was about to blow She's up on the table when we hit Missouri Dancin' with a movie man, he's holding her a little too close [Chorus] La di-di da da da da da da da La di-di da da da da da da da [Verse 2] He made her the star of the silent movies But all she did was mouth the words, all she did was mouth the words, "Oh no!" And cast me as the villain, as the sheriff’s worst enemy I practiced falling off of buildings and out windows [Chorus] [Verse 3] The last time I saw she was tied to the train tracks I was up there with the extras, riding on a tiger roan The villain on the left with the studio mustache Winkin' at Lillian, blowing kisses from the second row [Chorus]
