Cleopatra Songtext

My mum and dad were Pharaohs
I thought my rule's due
But both my older sisters
Thought that they should rule too
Oh dear they both died
I wonder who that will leave?
Little me-o, Pharaoh Cleo, OK
No time to grieve!

Think that's alarming?
You'd be right but it gets worse
Married my half brother
And we ruled the universe!
That bad romance led to an overcrowded throne
But then he died, boo hoo
So now I rule alone

Wooooo wo wo wo wo
All hail Lady Cleo!
Wooooo wo wo la la Coolest Pharaoh by far!

Fashion took my list of vices
Bathed in asses's milk and spices
Then I dressed like goddess Isis
Long black hair in ringlets nicest
Viper's tooth, for men entices
Finest linen roped top prices!

Married another brother
He's an OK geezer
But never told
Of my love for Julius Caesar
Had Caesar's child and hoped
That he'd be crowned king
My bro said no
I said oh- and I murdered him

'Cause I am Cleopatra
Egypt's royalty
The ruling Pharaoh
Don't you dare-o mess with me-ee
My poker face smiles
Only when I see
A man who takes my fancy
Like oh, Mark Anthony...

Wooooooo wo wo wo wo
Another Roman leader
Wooooooo wo wo la la
No Egyptian crowd pleaser

Ra ra Cleopatra
Finally I met my match-a
Ra ra Patra-Cleo
Ends in death for him and me-o

My life was a drama
I was one kooky mama
Wooooooooo wo wo you know...
Today I'd be a favourite of the paparazzo
