Cleopatra's Barge
CLEOPATRA'S BARGE (a musical soap opera)
They sailed up the Nile on Cleopatra's barge
It was luxury and style, they were living large
Romance, intrigue
Passion, power, politics were all in league
On Cleopatra's barge
Cleopatra's barge was the place to be
They were in charge the aristocracy
You had to mind what you said
You could wind in her boudoir or you could wind up dead
On Cleopatra's Barge
Their senses were inflamed
Inhibitions were untamed
By the scent of incense and exotic perfumes
As they cruised past all the pharaoh's tombs
On Cleopatra's barge there was much to admire
How they danced through the night to the flute and lyre
They drank wine roasted goat
It was a floating palace with a river for a moat
