Mr. Egyptian Lyrics by Jon Wayne (David Vaught)

Texas Funeral

1985

[Intro]
Count it off
[Verse]
Well, I was trucking down the freeway just the other night
Flashed on my dashboard was my oil light, dammit
I pulled my truck off the freeway
All the bars are closed
So I pulled into a gas station smelling like a Texas rose
And that's when I seen him
Sitting in some kinda booth like a Fotomat
Sitting there like a goddamn magpie on a telephone wire
I said "I need four quarts of oil for that truck over there"
He just sat there for a while and stared, yep
So I says "Buddy, I need some oil for my truck, that ain't no lie"
And he says something like "No go diggy die"
I said "What? What country are you from?"
He says something like "Abu Dhabi-dum"
I said "Ain't no country I know"
I said "I'm from Texas, now gimme some oil"
He said something like "No oil at midnight"
I said "Some of my Indian friends speak better English than that," yep
And he says "No go diggy die" again
I said "Don't go giving me none of that goddamn no-go-diggy-die shit
Forget the oil, I need some gas"
So I pumped five bucks in my truck
Thinking about kicking his ass in, yep
I walked up to the window, I slipped him a five
And he said "Six dollars" in some goddamn Arab jive
That's when I told him "Mr. Egyptian, you're a goddamn liar"
Yep, yep
[Outro]
Don't you give me none of that "No go diggy die" shit
Yep, uh
Speak English, goddamn it!
"No go diggy die"
I don't care, I don't care
That's Jimbo
Ain't no country I know!
Shut up
Shut up, Jimbo
