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 right 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

 Frauen & Kinder:
 A Pharaoh's story,
 A Pharaoh's story,
 A Pharaoh's story,
 A Pharaoh's story

 Erz?hlerin:
 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

 Frauen & Kinder:
 Could be famous,
 Could be a big success
 Could be famous,
 Could be a big success

 Erz?hlerin:
 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

 Erz?hlerin & 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
