Andrew Lloyd Webber Pharaoh Story Lyrics

Pharaoh Story Lyrics

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

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 a star
