Pharaoh Story Lyrics - Andrew Lloyd Webber

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
