Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Pharaoh Story Lyrics

Pharaoh Story Lyrics

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!
