A Pharaoh Story Lyrics

    Narrator
    Pharaoh, he was
    A powerful man
    With the ancient world
    In the palm of his hand
    To all intents and purposes he
    Was Egypt with a capital E
    Whatever he did
    He was showered with praise
    If he cracked a joke
    Then you chortled for days
    No one had rights or a
    Vote but the king
    In fact you might say
    He was fairly right-wing

    When Pharaoh's around,
    Then you get down on the ground
    If you ever find yourself near Ramses
    Get town on your knees

    Female Ensemble & Children
    A Pharaoh's story
    A Pharaoh's story
    A Pharaoh's story
    A Pharaoh's story

    Narrator
    Down at the other
    End of the scale
    Joseph is still
    Doing time in jail
    For even though he is
    In with the guards
    A lifetime in prison
    Seems quite on the cards
    But if my analysis of
    The position is right
    At the end of the tunnel
    There's a glimmer of light
    For all of a sudden
    Indescribable things
    Have shattered the sleep
    Of both peasants and kings

    Strange as it seems
    There's been a run of crazy dreams
    And a man who can interpret
    Could go far
    Could become a star

    Female Ensemble & Children
    Could be famous
    Could be a big success
    Could be famous
    Could be a big success

    Narrator
    Strange as it seems
    There's been a run of crazy dreams
    And a man who can interpret
    Could go far
    Could become a star

    Narrator & Ensemble
    Could be famous
    Could be a big success
    Could be famous
    Could be a big success

    Strange as it seems
    There's been a run of crazy dreams
    And a man who can interpret
    Could go far
    Could become a star

    Ah
    Could become a star
    Could be famous
    Could be a big success
    Could be famous
    Could be a star
