While you've been away cavorting Matters here have moved apace Now I need you home supporting All the plans I've put in place
First of all this means your wedding You'll recall your future bride For the way that Pharaoh's heading Time's no longer on our side
According to the hawk god, Horus Our most regal invalid Is not that much longer for us Build another pyramid!
There are many who'll be tearful As our leader fades away But our architects are cheerful And each dog must have its day
If our country is to flourish Then my son must take the lead Be our inspiration, nourish All our hopes our dreams our creed
Soon our monarch will have filled a Tomb just like his fathers did Summon Egypt's greatest builders another pyramid
Build it, build it Another pyramid
There will be a time for mourning But for now put plans on hold
Hold
For I give the nation warning That before the corpse is cold
Cold
We'll extend fair Egypt's power Egypt's glory strength and style We shall have our finest hour Far beyond the mighty Nile
He must have a vault that's grand by Any standards, floor to lid Put five thousand slaves on stand by Build another pyramid!
Build it, build it Build it, build it Build it, build it Build it-
Build it, build it Build it-
He must have a vault that's grand by Any standards, floor to lid Put five thousand slaves on stand by Build another pyramid!
