 [NARRATION WITH INSTRUMENTAL BACKGROUND]

 

 MUMMY: I'm a mummy. I scare people. Watch what happens when I walk up to

 somebody.

 

 I'm a mummy.

 FIRST PERSON:

 

 MUMMY: I was born one thousand nine hundred and fity-nine years ago. My

 daddy was a mummy, too. Watch what happens when I walk up to somebody.

 

 I'm a mummy.

 SECOND PERSON:

 

 MUMMY: I don't try to scare people. I really came back to life to buy a

 copy of "Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb", but people run from me.

 Watch what happens when I walk up to somebody.

 

 I'm

 a mummy.

 THIRD PERSON:

 

 MUMMY: I wish there was somebody somewhere who wasn't afraid of me. Oh,

 well. Watch what happens when I walk up to somebody.

 

 I'm a mummy.

 BEATNIK: That's cool.

 MUMMY: I'm a mummy.

 BEATNIK: You mean you're a mother.

 MUMMY: No, I'm a mummy.

 BEATNIK: I'm a beatnik.

 MUMMY: People are afraid of me.

 BEATNIK: Yeah, I'll bet.

 MUMMY: I was born one thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine years ago.

 BEATNIK: Oh, yeah, like that's a long gig.

 MUMMY: Where can I buy a copy of "Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb"?

 BEATNIK: Oooh, man, I don't dig that trash. You know like Brubeck,

 Sherwin, modern jazz quartet?

 MUMMY: I'm a mummy.

 BEATNIK: Man, you got a warped groove.

 MUMMY: Aren't you afraid of me? Aren't you gonna scream?

 BEATNIK: Oh, yeah, like "help."
