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
