Tim Rice - 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 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 an*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 [NARRATOR AND LADIES] 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 [LADIES] Could be famous, could be a big success [NARRATOR AND LADIES] 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 [LADIES] Could be famous, could be a big success [NARRATOR AND ENSEMBLE] 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 [NARRATOR AND ENSEMBLE] Could be a star!
