by: Bob MarleyMUMMY: 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.

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.
