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 down on your knees

A Pharaoh story, a Pharaoh story

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

[NARRATOR AND LADIES]

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

[LADIES]

Could be famous

Could be a big success

[NARRATOR AND LADIES]

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

[LADIES]

Could be famous

Could be a big success

[NARRATOR AND ENSEMBLE]

Strange as it seems

There's been a run of crazy dreams

And a man who can interpret could go far

Tould become a star

[NARRATOR AND ENSEMBLE]

Could be a star!
