The pyramids were in construction The pharoah glowed with satisfaction But then to his immense surprise His empire fell before his eyes A hundred thousand busy slaves Downed their tools and stood and stared
The Red seawalls stood like a canyon The pharoah pulled up in his wagon And saw within those walls of glass A herd of whales go racing past A hundred thousand fishy tales Crossed his mind about the day
Then Charlton Heston put his vest on
The broken tablets had been mended The golden calf had been up-ended And old folk sitting round the fire Would talk of voices from the sky Babies sailing down the Nile The recipe for locust pie A hundred thousand frogs per mile We'd always ask them to describe
How Charlton Heston put his vest on
Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal Shalt not commit adultery Boils the size of fifty pee Lights! Camel! Action! Bushes that refuse to burn See these sandals hardly worn Raining blood, raining bread The night we painted Egypt red Thou shalt not covet, shalt not lie Thou shalt not bonk your neighbour's wife The recipe for egg fried lice A hundred ways to kill a fly Love your daddy, love your mummy Put your bread in milk and honey Loved his fish, he did, he did Never beat the wife and kids Slouch though desert, slouch through sand Until we reach the promised land Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal Shalt not commit adultery Boils the size of fifty pee Lights! Camel! Action!
