andrew lloyd webber - 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 -n-lysis 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!
