Pharao Story Songtext / Lyric

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 Rameses -- get down on your knees



HANDMAIDENS:



A Pharaoh story, a Pharaoh 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



HANDMAIDENS:



Could be famous, could be a big success



NARRATOR:



Could be a star!
