Horrible Histories - Making A Mummy

Of Egyptian kings we know o so many things
'Cause the archaeologists have dug their tombs
Now we're here to show how to treat a dead Pharaoh
Make a mummy that can decorate your room

First your dead king's laid on a table where his brain
Is pulled out with a wire through his nose
The his guts and lungs, stomach, liver must be bunged
In four jars so they do not decompose

Pour out salt to dry, on the body let it lie
There for 40 days until it mummifies
Then in bandages wrap up the body, leave a gap
For the mouth and pop in artificial eyes

In the coffin cold lay out prayers in little scroll
That will guard him on his journey far ahead
Pack his tomb with wealth, which he'll need for his health
If he makes it to the country of the dead

Now you've done your job there are villains who will rob
So our mummy and its coffin we defend
Build a pyramid high so it points up to the sky
Place your dead king deep inside and that's the end
