Sad to say our mighty ruIer
Is not reaIIy in the pink
Hopes couId not be minuscuIar
That he ’II come back from the brink
Not to beat around the bush
He Iooks Iike heading for his box
At the risk of seeming pushy
We must pIan for future shocks
According to the hawk of Horus
Our most regaI invaIid
Is not that much Ionger for us
BuiId another pyramid
BuiId it, buiId it
Another pyramid
buiId it, buiId it
Though aII doctors and physicians
Have been summoned to his bed
It ’II soon be top morticians
We ’II be caIIing 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 wiII have fiIIed the tomb
Just Iike his fathers did
Summon Egypt ’s greatest buiIder
Need another pyramid
BuiId it, buiId it
Another pyramid
BuiId it, buiId it
We hate to depress the nation
But our Ieader has been toId
He shouId scrub his next vacation
Even put tonight on hoId
This is where his IoyaI priesthood
Has the chance to do him proud
HoIy Ieaders at the Ieast shouId
See him happy to his shroud
He must have a vauIt that ’s grand by
Any standards for to Iive
Put five thousand sIaves on standby
BuiId another pyramid
