Solo para festejar "Las Navidades" como llaman por aquí en Monterrey a las celebraciones esas que se dan casi al final del año decidí sacar del baul esta letra de canción para regodearme en mi paganismo egipcio.....exclusivo para archaeogeeks, esta en ingles pero bueno como estoy cerca de la frontera con los "estates" y como aquí llega Santa Claus en vez de los Reyes Magos, creo que estaré perdonado por mis colegas Mexicatiauhtlis. La letra es cortesía de Kat Newkirk, aunque el cita a varias personas que colaboraron.



Twelve Days in Egypt:

On the first day in Egypt my pharaoh gave to me… A tomb full of treasure for me! On the second day in Egypt my pharaoh gave to me… Two double crowns And a tomb full of treasure for me! On the third day in Egypt my pharaoh gave to me… Three pyramids Two double crowns And a tomb full of treasure for me! On the fourth day in Egypt my pharaoh gave to me… Four canopic jars Three pyramids Two double crowns And a tomb full of treasure for me! On the fifth day in Egypt my pharaoh gave to me… FIVE GOLD COFFINS! Four canopic jars Three pyramids Two double crowns And a tomb full of treasure for me! On the sixth day in Egypt my pharaoh gave to me… Six slaves a-slaving FIVE GOLD COFFINS! Four canopic jars Three pyramids Two double crowns And a tomb full of treasure for me! On the seventh day in Egypt my pharaoh gave to me… Seven sistrum shakers… On the eighth day in Egypt my pharaoh gave to me… Eight scribes a-scribbling… On the ninth day in Egypt my pharaoh gave to me… Nine priests a-praying… On the tenth day in Egypt my pharaoh gave to me… Ten tomb-robbers robbing… On the eleventh day in Egypt my pharaoh gave to me… Eleven mourners moaning... On the twelfth day in Egypt my pharaoh gave to me… Twelve mouldy mummies Eleven mourners moaning Ten tomb-robbers robbing Nine priests a-praying Eight scribes a-scribbling Seven sistrum shakers Six slaves a-slaving FIVE GOLD COFFINS! Four canopic jars Three pyramids Two double crowns And a tomb full of treasure for me!

Happy Holidays to All! Everyone's dancing merrily In the old Egyptian way!
