Lyrics Pharaoh Story - Andrew Lloyd Webber feat. Janet Metz & "Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" 1992 Canadian Cast

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 Ramesses
Get down on your knees

A Pharaoh story
A Pharaoh story
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

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 (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 (could be famous, could be a big success)
A star! (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 (could be famous, could be a big success)
(Could be famous)
Could be a star!
