Facts:

Bob Rivers made a parody in 2016 called "King Trump". (Halfshell)

The A Wild and Crazy Guy version is 2:59, while the 45 is shorter. DrD's choice to play which of the two is mostly undocumented. The audio from SNL might have also been heard. (Tim P. Ryan)

Can be heard on Martin's second comedy album, A WILD AND CRAZY GUY (which also came out in 1978). (sav-man)

The song went over so well that it was released as a single that summer. It reached #17 on the BILLBOARD charts in August 1978. (sav-man)

Steve Martin debuted this song on the April 22, 1978 episode of "Saturday Night Live." (sav-man)

Song Lyrics:

King Tut (King Tut)
Now when he was a young man,
He never thought he'd see
People stand in line to see the boy king.

(King Tut) How'd you get so funky?
(funky Tut) Did you do the monkey?
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (King Tut).

(King Tut) Now, if I'd known
they'd line up just to see him,
I'd trade in all my money
And bought me a museum. (King Tut)

Buried with a donkey (funky Tut)
He's my favorite honkey!
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (King Tut)

Dancin' by the Nile, (Disco Tut)
The ladies love his style, (boss Tut)
Rockin' for a mile (rockin' Tut)
He ate a crocodile.

He gave his life for tourism.
Golden idols!
He's an Egyptian
They're sellin' you.

Now, when I die,
now don't think I'm a nut,
don't want no fancy funeral,
Just one like ole king Tut. (King Tut)

He coulda won a Grammy,
Buried in his jammies,
Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia,
He was born in Arizona; got a condo made of stone-a,
King Tut! (peterpuck9)
