Egyptian Rhapsody
EGYPTIAN RHAPSODY
(to the tune of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”)
Is this my real life?
Is this a fallacy?
Son of the pharaoh
But that’s not reality
Open your ears
And listen to my story
I’m just a Hebrew,
My people in slavery
‘cause it’s brick by brick
Toil and slave
Jewish people
I must save
Anyway the Nile flows,
Doesn’t really matter to me
To me…
Mama, just killed a man.
An Egyptian in the sand,
Struck him down with my own hands
Mama, what have I just done?
Oh now I’ll have to go and run away!
Mama! ooooooooo
A shepherd I’ve become
Hey, what’s that bush ahead that’s caught on fire?
Is it G-d? Is it G-d?
Hello, my name is Moses
“MOSES
YOU’RE TIME HAS COME
YOU’LL BE MY RIGHT HAND MAN
TAKE THE JEWS FROM EGYPT LAND”
Okay, my old buddy,
It’s you and me!
Gotta free our people from this tyranny!
Aaron! oooooooo
My brother by my side
Together we will lead our people homeward
(EPIC guitar solo of the Lord)
I see a pharaoh with a heart made out of a stone
OH THE JEWS, OH THE JEWS
Pharaoh will you let them-go?
THUNDERBOLTS AND LIGHTNING
PLAGUES THEY ARE ALL FRIGHTENING ME!
Blood and frogs
Lice and beasts
Sickly cattle,
Boils and cysts
Locusts, darkness in the land
and the firstborn….
I’m just a Pharaoh everybody loves me-
He’s just a Hebrew saving his family!
Sparing their lives from your monstrosity.
Please desist.
G-d is pissed.
Will you let them go?
MESHUGGAH NO! I will not let them go
(Let them go!) MESHUGGAH! I will not let them go.
(Let them go!) MESHUGGAH! I will not let them go.
Let them go / will not let them go! X3
GO NO GO NO GO NO GO –
OH MATZAH PIZZA MATZAH PIZZA!
MATZAH PIZZA LET THEM GO!
OUR G-D ABOVE
WILL DELIVER US FROM HERE YOU’LL SEE
YOU’LL SEE
YOU’LL SEE!
(GUITAR SHREDDING)
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN PLAGUE ME
FROM LAND AND FROM SKY??
SO YOU’VE TAKEN MY CHILD, MY FIRST BORN TO DIE!
OHHHHH MOSES!
CAN’T DO THIS TO ME MOSES!!
JUST GO AND GET OUT
JUST TAKE YOUR PEOPLE FROM HERE
(EPIC, face-melting, pharaoh guitar-shredding solo)
Come with me, my people,
G-d will part the sea
Follow me, me people,
Sing with me O Israel
We are free.
Anyway the Nile flows….
