Song 10: Come to Egypt/Crocodile Pharaoh reprise (cast enter and take their bows)

Come to Egypt...and stay a while
See Egyptian crocodiles
That swim in the Nile
One visit and you'll just want to stay!

Come to Egypt where a lot of culture began
There is no better place
To top up your tan!
Egypt is a magical place!

Egypt is tremendous...yeah! yeah!
Egypt is amazing...yeah! yeah!
Egypt is spectacular...yeah! yeah!
Egypt is our favourite place!
(repeat)

Lead into Song 2 "Crocodile Pharaoh" 
 

(Soothsayer) Four thousand years ago in a desert land

Irrigated by the river Nile.
A Pharaoh ruled Egypt with a rod of iron,
The people all considered him vile.

​

(4 bar instrumental)

​

(ALL faster) Four thousand years ago in a desert land Irrigated by the river Nile.
A Pharaoh ruled Egypt with a rod of iron,
The people all considered him vile.

​

(All) Pharaohs are all powerful, treated like gods
In return they should be thoughtful and wise.
This king was just arrogant, greedy and cruel
No wonder he was thoroughly despised.

​

(Pharaoh exits stage)

​

The slaves and the people sang:

(All) We’re waiting for the Crocodile Pharaoh

A legend oh so old.
We’re waiting for the Crocodile Pharaoh

The prophecy foretold...

​

(All) The Crocodile Pharaoh will soon be here

(Drunk) The Crocodile Pharaoh will bring me beer

(Slaves 1, 2 & 3) The Crocodile Pharaoh will set us free (Old person) The Crocodile Pharaoh will fix my knee

 

(Miser) The Crocodile Pharaoh will bring me gold
(Ill person) The Crocodile Pharaoh will cure my cold (Salesperson) The Crocodile Pharaoh will help me sell (All) The Crocodile Pharaoh will rule us well!

Rule us well! Rule us well!

​

We’re waiting for the Crocodile Pharaoh

A legend oh so old.
We’re waiting for the Crocodile Pharaoh

THE PROPHECY FORETOLD!
