Another Pyramid

Sad to say our mighty ruler is not really in the pink Hopes could not be minuscular that he will come back from the brink Not beat around the bush He looks like heading for his box At the risk of seeming pushy We must plan for future shocks According to the Hawk God Horus Our most regal invalid Is not that much longer for us Build another (another, another, another) Another pyramid (build another pyramid) Another pyramid (build another pyramid) Though all doctors and physicians have been summoned to his bed It will soon be top morticians we will be calling for instead With each wheeze, the nation's humming Egypt shakes with every cough Not two ways about what is coming No discussion, bets are off Soon our Pharaoh will have filled a tomb Just like his fathers did Summon Egypt is the greatest builder Build another (another, another, another) Another pyramid (build another pyramid) Another pyramid (build another pyramid) Another pyramid (build another pyramid) Another pyramid (build another pyramid) We hate to depress the nation, but our leader has been told He should cancel his vacation Even put tonight on hold This is where his loyal priesthood has the chance to do him proud Holy leaders at the least should see him happy to his shroud He must have a vault that's grand by any standards, floor to lid Put five thousand slaves on standby Build another (another, another, another) Build another (another, another, another) Build another (another, another, another) Another pyramid (build another pyramid) Another pyramid (build another pyramid) Another pyramid (build another pyramid) Another pyramid (build another pyramid) Another pyramid!
