Back in Egypt...

• This song was written in June/July 2016 by Year 4 at St.Johns CofE Primary Academy, Wednesbury

• They wrote the lyrics and melody as a class

C

Way, way back in Egypt oh so many years ago

G7

Back amongst the land where the nile does flow

C

Elsoowah and Eqwa they were searching in the sand

F                      G7                                             C

Hoping for the Red Jewel to appear in their hand

C

Suddenly a sandstorm came and ruined everything

G7

Crack! The pyramid opened, inside glimm'ring bling

C

Eqwa and her Elsoowah they grabbed it with a tool

F                        G7                                          C

One was being careful and the other was a fool!

C

The camels were getting angry they were spitting in a rage

G7

The Red Stone shined so brightly shone for quite an age

C

Elsoowah and Eqwa saw the red stone was to blame

F           G7                                               C

So they picked it up and threw it in the flames

C    

Elsoowah and Eqwa  thought that digging weren't their thing

G7          

Swapped jobs with some tourists went to the Valley of the Kings

C         

The camels were already there still angry at the pair

F                           G7                                                 C

Suddenly started charging and gave them both a scare

C   

Elsoowah and Eqwa ran towards the flowing Nile

G7   

Jumping over quicksand chasing on for miles

C   

The camels went walking off towards the massive pyramids

F                      G7                                                                                                C   

Elsoowah and Eqwa moved to England and changed both their names to 'Sid!'
