Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice - A Pharaoh Story lyrics

(Narrator) Pharoah, 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 Pharoah's around, Then you get down on the ground If you ever find yourself near Rameses, Get down on your knees A pharaoh story, a pharaoh story 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's 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 is 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 famous, could be a big success 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 famous, could be a big success 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 a star!
