7. Build it so High (Pyramid Song)
Keep on building, keep it rising to the sky
To honour our new Pharaoh, gotta build it oh so high.
Everyone must lend a hand, every man, woman, boy or girl
The greatest pyramid so far, the tallest building in the world.
CHORUS
Gotta build it so high!
Gotta build it so high!
Gotta build it so high!
Gotta build it so high!
If you’re tired and rundown
Don’t worry we have whips.
We like to see you working hard
No complaining, close those lips!
Don’t ask us for breaks though
Holidays or a pension scheme.
You’ve got a job for life here
So let me hear you scream!
Hear you scream...
Hear you scream...
CHORUS
Gotta build it so high!
Gotta build it so high!
Gotta build it so high!
Gotta build it so high!
We’re waiting for the Crocodile Pharaoh
A legend oh so old.
We’re waiting for the Crocodile Pharaoh
The prophecy foretold!
SO BUILD IT SO HIGH!
