Old King Tut - Eddie Cantor & Lillian "Billie" Kent [HD]

A nice tune from Boardwalk Empire season 3, ep. 1. No copyright infringement intended, all credit goes to HBO. The link to the original song: • Billy Jones & Ernest H...
Lyrics:
Three thousand years ago, King Tutty reigned you know,
He must have travelled greatly in his time.
For in his tomb out there, was gold and silver ware,
From big hotels of every land and clime.
While going through his royal robes they found up in his sleeve,
The first fig leaf that Adam gave to Eve.
In old King Tut-Tut-Tut-enkhamen's day,
Beneath the tropic skies King Tut-Tut-Tut was very wise,
Now old King Tut-Tut-Tut was always gay,
Cleopatra she sat upon his knee, Pat! that's where she sat.
The girls would dance for him and every move a treat,
They'd move and move and move but never move their feet.
A thousand girls would dance each day,
With lots of hip-hip-hip-hooray,
In old King Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut, King Tutty's Day.
(2x)
Three thousand years ago, In history we know,
King Tutenkhamen ruled a mighty land.
He ruled for many years, 'Mid laughter, song and tears,
He made a record that will always stand.
They opened up his tomb the other day and jumped with glee,
They learned a lot of ancient history.

The guy in the background with the whiskey is an actor named Nick Wyman. He was also in the play Network and I met him there on stage and he was talking with us and I brought up the first thing I remembered him from which was a very small appearance on Chappelle Show and he laughed and talked about that for 10 minutes.....

If a guy wants to attract the attention of women, he should carry a cute puppy with him. Every time I've seen a guy (or anyone) with a cute dog in real life, it isn't long before all the women in the room have to come over to see the cute animal and pet it. Speaking as a dog lover, more guys should really do this!

[@kev3d]

In case anyone was wondering, this event was supposed to have been December 31st, 1922. Howard Carter had discovered King Tut's tomb in early November of the same year. It was, as suggested by the scene, a media sensation. For the record, King Tut was not "old" (at least, not when he reigned anyway), wasn't wise, and didn't rule for long. He was a teenager when he died, having suffered a number of medical problems from birth, possibly from inbreeding, which was common among Egyptian Royals. Cleopatra never sat on his lap, as she lived over a thousand years after King Tutankhamun. Meyer Lansky is more accurate when he jokes about "Nefertitties", referring to "Nefertiti", who was more or less a contemporary (and possibly the mother) of King Tut.

In episode 2, Billie says "You're not getting gloomy, are ya Gus?" to Nucky when he stood in front of the bathroom mirror with a gloomy look on his face. I read some stuff about it online and it suggests that Billie gave the nickname "Gus" to Nucky because his expression reminded her of Gloomy Gus, a character from a comic strip "Happy Hooligan" which was very popular back in the 20's. That's what I can make from it at least, I hope it answered your question.
