Lyrics
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 Ramesses
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 gods
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 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 (Strange as it seems)
And a man who can interpret could go far, far, 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 (Of crazy dreams)
And a man who can interpret could go far, far, far
Could become a star
Could be famous
Could be a big success
Could be famous
Could be a star
