Song title: Andrew Lloyd Webber - Pharaoh Story

Edit By: 216.73.216.66

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!
