Lyrics Pharaoh Story - Andrew Lloyd Webber , Peter Reeves

Pharaoh, he was a powerful man
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
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 is a glimmer of light
For all of a sudden there's been visions of things
Disturbing 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
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)
