Elton John F- Sting Another Pyramid Lyrics

Another Pyramid Lyrics

Sad to say our mighty ruler

 Is not really in the pink

 Hopes could not be minesculer

 That he'll come back from the brink

 

 Not to beat around the bush he

 Looks like heading for his box

 At the risk of seeming pushy

 We must plan for future shocks

 

 According to the Hawk God, Horus

 Our most regal invalid

 Is not that much longer for us

 Build another pyramid !

 

 Though all doctors and physicians

 Have been summoned to his bed

 It will soon be top morticians

 We'll be calling for instead

 

 With each wheeze the nation's humming

 Egypt shakes with every cough

 No two ways about what's coming

 No discussion - bets are off

 

 Soon our Pharaoh will have filled a

 Tomb just like his father did

 Summon Egypt's greatest builder

 Re: another pyramid !

 

 We hate to depress the nation

 But our leader has been told

 He should scrub his next vacation *

 Even put tonight on hold

 

 This is where his loyal priesthood

 Has the chance to do him proud

 Holy leaders at the least should

 See him happy to his shroud

 

 He must have a vault that's grand by

 Any standards, floor to lid

 Put five thousand slaves on standby

 Build another pyramid !
