Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Related Recordings) Lyrics
"Pharoh Story"

(Narrator)
Pharaoh he was
A powerful man
With the ancient world
In the palm of his hands.
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
Than you chortled for days
No one had rights or a
Vote but the king
Infact you might say
He was fairly right wing

When Pharaoh's around
Than you get down on the ground
If you ever find yourself near Ramases
Get down on your knees.

(Female Ensemble & Children)
A Pharaoh's story,
A Pharaoh's story
A Pharaoh story,
A Pharaoh 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 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

(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

[During the Could be famous...]A Star....

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 sucess
Could be famous
Could be a star.
