The Mummy

Bob McFadden and Dor Brunswick 9-55140

(Rod McKuen)


[NARRATION WITH INSTRUMENTAL BACKGROUND]

MUMMY: I'm a mummy. I scare people. Watch what happens when I walk up to 

somebody. I'm a mummy.

FIRST PERSON: 

MUMMY: I was born one thousand nine hundred and fity-nine years ago. My 

daddy was a mummy, too. Watch what happens when I walk up to somebody. 

 I'm a mummy.

SECOND PERSON: 

MUMMY: I don't try to scare people. I really came back to life to buy a 

copy of "Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb", but people run from me. 

Watch what happens when I walk up to somebody. I'm 

a mummy.

THIRD PERSON: 

MUMMY: I wish there was somebody somewhere who wasn't afraid of me. Oh, 

well. Watch what happens when I walk up to somebody. 

 I'm a mummy.

BEATNIK: That's cool.

MUMMY: I'm a mummy.

BEATNIK: You mean you're a mother.

MUMMY: No, I'm a mummy.

BEATNIK: I'm a beatnik.

MUMMY: People are afraid of me.

BEATNIK: Yeah, I'll bet.

MUMMY: I was born one thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine years ago.

BEATNIK: Oh, yeah, like that's a long gig.

MUMMY: Where can I buy a copy of "Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb"?

BEATNIK: Oooh, man, I don't dig that trash. You know like Brubeck, 

Sherwin, modern jazz quartet?

MUMMY: I'm a mummy.

BEATNIK: Man, you got a warped groove.

MUMMY: Aren't you afraid of me? Aren't you gonna scream?

BEATNIK: Oh, yeah, like "help."
