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
--"Pharoah Story" from Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat
