Capo on 1st fret
[Intro]
A7 D A7
[Verse 1]
D A7
I thought the only pyramids were in a foreign land
A7 D
Where treasures are aplenty with riches rare and grand
D D7 G G7
But here we have a pyramid that really is a honey
A7 D
To join, you pay a dollar and you win a lot of money
[Chorus 1]
D A7
It's the Pyramid Club that I joined
A7 D
I thought that I could make some easy coin
D D7 G G7
Over there, they call them mummies, over here, we're just dummies
A7 D
Us members of the Pyramid Club
[Verse 2]
D A7
I found an unsuspecting pair and made them members too
A7 D
We had a great big party at which time, they paid their dues
D D7 G G7
This made me number two in line, my joy could not be spoken
A7 D
And I'd have won 10,000 bucks, but then, the chain was broken
[Chorus 2]
D A7
After waiting through 3,000 names
A7 D
I thought that, at last, I'd won the game
D D7 G G7
But number one-five-six-three-two got mad and didn't pay his dues
A7 D A7
So I lost in the Pyramid Club
[Accordion Solo]

[Chorus 3]
D A7
It's the Pyramid Club that I joined

I thought that I could make some easy coin

The Egyptian mummy Siam is no nearer dead than I am
A7 D
As a member of the Pyramid Club
