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

When Pharaoh’s around,

Then you get down on the ground

If you ever find yourself near Ramses

Get down on your knees

For all of a sudden

Indescribable things

And a man who can interpret

Could go far

Could become a star
