Elton John - Another Pyramid lyrics

Music by elton john

Lyrics by tim rice

Elton's solo version is unreleased

Sad to say our mighty ruler

Is not really in the pink

Hopes could not be minuscular

That he'll come back from the brink

Not to beat around the bush

He looks like heading for his box

At the risk of seeming pushy

We must plan for future shocks

According to the hawk God horus

Our most regal invalid

Is not that much longer for us

Build another pyramid

Build it, build it

Another pyramid

Build it, build it

Though all doctors and physicians

Have been summoned to his bed

It'll soon be top morticians

We'll be calling for instead

With each wheeze the nation's humming

Egypt shakes with every cough

No two ways about what's coming

No discussion, bets are off

Soon our monarch will have filled the tomb

Just like his fathers did

Summon egypt's greatest builder

Re: another pyramid

Build it, build it

Another pyramid

Build it, build it

We hate to depress the nation

But our leader has been told

He should scrub his next vacation

Even put tonight on hold

This is where his loyal priesthood

Has the chance to do him proud

Holy leaders at the least should

See him happy to his shroud

He must have a vault that's grand by

Any standards floor to lid

Put five thousand slaves on standby

Build another pyramid
