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 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!
