Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida movie - Another Pyramid lyrics

rate me

Song by Sting<br /><br>

Sad to say our mighty ruler<br>

Is not really in the pink<br>

Hopes could not be minuscular<br>

That he'll come back from the brink<br>

Not to beat around the bush<br>

He looks like heading for his box<br>

At the risk of seeming pushy<br>

We must plan for future shocks<br>

<br>

According to the Hawk God Horus<br>

Our most regal invalid<br>

Is not that much longer for us<br>

Build another pyramid<br>

<br>

Build it, build it<br>

Another pyramid<br>

build it, build it<br>

<br>

Though all doctors and physicians<br>

Have been summoned to his bed<br>

It'll soon be top morticians<br>

We'll be calling for instead<br>

With each wheeze the nation's humming<br>

Egypt shakes with every cough<br>

No two ways about what's coming<br>

No discussion, bets are off<br>

<br>

Soon our monarch will have filled the tomb<br>

Just like his fathers did<br>

Summon Egypt's greatest builder<br>

Re: another pyramid<br>

<br>

Build it, build it<br>

Another pyramid<br>

Build it, build it<br>

<br>

We hate to depress the nation<br>

But our leader has been told<br>

He should scrub his next vacation<br>

Even put tonight on hold<br>

This is where his loyal priesthood<br>

Has the chance to do him proud<br>

Holy leaders at the least should<br>

See him happy to his shroud<br>

<br>

He must have a vault that's grand by<br>

Any standards floor to lid<br>

Put five thousand slaves on standby<br>

Build another pyramid<br>

<br>
