Pharaoh Story Lyrics > Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

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 Ramases
Get down on your knees

A Pharaoh's story,
A Pharaoh's story
A Pharaoh's story,
A Pharaoh's 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 liftime in prison
Seems quite on the cards
But if my analysis of
The position is right
At the end of the tunnel
There's seems 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

Female Ensemble & Children

Could be famous,
Could be a big success
Could be famous,
Could be a big success
Narrator

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
Narrator & Ensemble

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

Ah
Could become a star
Could be famous,
Could be a big success
Could be famous,
Could be a star
