No. 27 - Finale Act II

Lyrics by Frederick Fenn

[Chorus:] Ring, oh ring a wedding peal,
Pharaoh's daughter now is wed.
Stamp the deed with royal seal,
Shower blessings on her head!
Ring, oh ring a wedding peal,
Ring, oh ring a wedding peal,
Stamp the deed with Royal seal,
Stamp the deed with Royal seal.
[Amasis:] 'Twas giv'n to you alone.
Against harsh death to intervene,
So true and brave a friend you've been,
[Chorus:] A friend you've been,
[Amasis:] Your life is not your own.
There'd be tears in our gladness
If you walked sadness
Or lived out your life all alone.
[Chorus:] Alone.
[Amasis:] With our gratitude let us atone.
[Anhotep:] We'll write up your name
On the high scroll of fame.
[Chorus:] We'll write up your name
On the high scroll...
[Amasis:] It shall shine out in glory alone.
It's you who would honor a Throne.
[Chorus:] Sign'd the contract! Seal'd the compact!
Now the entr'acte 'ere the wedding'
Congregation takes its station,
Each relation tear is shedding.
Troth now plighted, all excited,
Quite delighted, acquiescing.
Bridegroom fearless, bride so peerless,
Radiant, tearless, priests are blessing!
Tra la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la!
Tra la la la la la!
Tra la la la la la!
Tra la la la la la!
Tra la la la la!
Tra la la la la!
Tra la la la la la la la la!
