Lyrics:

[Verse]

Wrapped up in bandages

Feeling oh so grand

Mummification

An ancient Egyptian plan

Lying in a sarcophagus

Waiting to be found

Preserved for eternity

Buried under the ground

[Chorus]

Wrapped up like a present

All snug and tight

Covered in linen from head to toe

Day and night

Removing all the organs

No longer needed

Heart

Lungs

And stomach

Carefully proceeded

[Verse 2]

Covered in natron

Salt to dry and save

An embalming process

to keep us from the grave

Canopic jars hold our organs with care

Safeguarding the bits that once were there

[Chorus]

Wrapped up like a present

All snug and tight

Covered in linen from head to toe

Day and night

Removing all the organs

No longer needed

Heart

Lungs

And stomach

Carefully proceeded
