De-Crypted



In Egypt, two pals who were chummy
did meet with a stale, ancient mummy
Exhumed from his tomb,
the ghoul spelled their doom--
but in hieroglyphs--mum's not a dummy

Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (Charles Lamont, 1955), airing tonight on Svengoolie on Me-TV. This was the 28th and final A&C film for Universal, and their routines were getting about as ancient as the pyramids. Title by Crypt-Keeper David Cairns.

    OF HUMAN BANDAGE

    He's wound in a long roll of gauze
    To keep him all fresh, just because
    On the Western Lands' bank
    If you smell really rank
    You won't get a round of applause.

    Ha!

    The mummy, in bandages wrapped
    Finds mumbling curses quite apt
    He cannot escape
    his pants rolled like tape
    So his underwear always gets crapped
