Mummie Rap

Chorus:

When a person dies

He must be prepared to lie with the rest

And hope he has lived his life the best.

Hope he moves on

To the life beyond

To mummify a body

First you must wash it in a river

Than you remove the organs such as the liver

This might make you shiver

Then you dry the organs out

There might be some doubt 

But you’ll be ready to move on when you take the brain out

Chorus:

When a person dies

He must be prepared to lie with the rest

And hope he has lived his life the best.

Hope he moves on

To the life beyond

Then they took the body

And let it sit in the sun

This doesn’t sound like fun

Next the body was stuffed with packing

To prevent it from cracking

About 20 layers of cloth

Were wrapped around the person

Than they were ready to be buried

This process couldn’t be hurried

The box they were put in had to be sturdy

So it would last for years to come

Chorus:

When a person dies

He must be prepared to lie with the rest

And hope he has lived his life the best.

Hope he moves on

To the life beyond

The pharaohs had the best funerals

They were transported by sleigh (ay)

People were hired to mourn and cry

When they saw the person who died

Pass on by

 This was the last of the steps

And all will be well

As you can tell

Some of the mummies today

Are here to stay

 Chorus:

When a person dies

He must be prepared to lie with the rest

And hope he has lived his life the best.

Hope he moves on

To the life beyond
