Subject: RE: Lyr Req: King Pharoah Was Our Lodger?
Courtesy of my wonderful nanny who I used to act out and siing this song with as a chil:

King pharoah was our lodger
And he lived in our back yard
Way down west upon the Nile

He used to do our washing
Got the sack for eating soap
Way down west upon the nile

My egyptian mu mu mu mu mummy
She used to rub my tum tum tum tum tummy
Beneath the silvery palms
I used to fall asleep and wake up in my mummy`s arms

Way down west where the camels get the hump
You get your eyes and nose bunged up with sand
Hot savaloys and a yard of tripe
Ill be up your way tonight
In old king pharoahs land

Oooooh oooh oh oh oh
Oooooh oooh oh oh oh
Out in, out in, out in Pharoah`s land
Oooh oooh ooh
