If ole Pharaoh, King of Egyp', 'ad been gazin' on the scene / 'E'd' ave give the A. I. F. a narsty name / When they done their little best to scrub 'is dirty Kingdom clean, / An' to shift 'is ancient 'eap uv sin an' shame. / An' I'm tippin' they'd 'ave phenyled 'im, an' rubbed it in 'is 'ead. / But old Pharaoh, King uv Egyp', 'e is dead.
So yeh don't 'ear much about it; an' it isn't meant yeh should, / Since 'is Kingship wasn't there to go orf pop; / An' this mishunery effort fer to make the 'eathen good / Wus a contract that the fellers 'ad to drop. / There wus other pressin' matters, so they 'ad to chuck the fun, / But the Battle uv the Wazzir took the bun.
