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 |
