Mummy Rap

enjoy :)
Chorus:

A long time ago in the land of Ancient Egypt,

Important pharaohs ruled their dynasty.

But when they died, the process was kind of nasty.

The wanted to preserve their body you see,

For a safe trip to the afterlife, being wrapped as a mummy was the key.

The pharaoh has died OH MY!

Everyone was depressed and cried.

Step one the body must be dried.

Now they must remove the organs

This was a gruesome job you see,

But someone’s gotta do it,

Better you not me! (OHHHH)

They put the intestines in a jar with a falcon

I wonder how the pharaoh died, maybe he fell of his balcon…y.

A jar with the head of a dog his stomach went.

Oh! This is such a disgusting event.

His lungs went in a jar with the head of a baboon,

Gosh, these people were such buffoons.

Lastly they used a hook to get the brain out.

The worst process without doubt.

They thought the brain was useless

Little did they know they really used theirs less! (OHHH OH OH)

Chorus:

A long time ago in the land of Ancient Egypt,

Important pharaohs ruled their dynasty.

But when they died, the process was kind of nasty.

The wanted to preserve their body you see,

For a safe trip to the afterlife, being wrapped as a mummy was the key.

They dried out the body for another forty days.

This process was done in such a specific way.

The body was then stuffed with packaging,

Now the body was ready for bandaging.

They wrapped the mummy in twenty layers.

For their funeral, people hired surveyors.

The mummy was wrapped with gold and nice things.

The Pharaohs deserved it, they were great kings.

The jars were transported to the tomb by sleigh.

Oh, this day was so sad and gray.

People would grieve and throw dust in their hair,

Wow, let’s not get carried away here.

Religious ceremonies were held to insure the person to afterlife,

Their journey will be long, it will be difficult to survive.

Chorus:

A long time ago in the land of Ancient Egypt,

Important pharaohs ruled their dynasty.

But when they died, the process was kind of nasty.

The wanted to preserve their body you see,

For a safe trip to the afterlife, being wrapped as a mummy was the key.

A lot of mummies were destroyed by grave robbers.

They dug up the mummies and stole their stuff (how rude.)

Wow, they must be scary and tough.

You can see what the mummy looked like.

Mummification was so well done.

So that’s the story about mummies everyone.

Chorus:

A long time ago in the land of Ancient Egypt,

Important pharaohs ruled their dynasty.

But when they died, the process was kind of nasty.
