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!
