Lyrics

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Set the cheetahs on the loose
Oh, oh, oh, oh
There's a thief out on the move
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Underneath our legion's view
Oh, oh, oh, oh
They have taken Cleopatra
Run, run, run, come back for my glory (Cleopatra, Cleopatra)
Bring her back to me (Cleopatra, Cleopatra, Cleopatra)
Run, run, run, the crown of our pharaoh (Cleopatra, Cleopatra)
The throne of our queen is empty (Cleopatra, Cleopatra)
[Verse 1]
We'll run to the future, shining like diamonds
In a rocky world, rocky world
Our skin like bronze and our hair like cashmere
As we march to the rhythm on the palace floor
Ooh, chandeliers inside the pyramids
Tremble from the force
Cymbals crash inside the pyramids
Voices fill up the halls
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, ooh
Set the cheetahs on the loose
Hey, hey, hey
There's a thief out on the move
Oh, oh, oh, ooh
Underneath our legion's view
Hey, hey, hey
They have taken Cleopatra (Cleopatra)
[Verse 2]
The Jewel of Africa
Jewel, what good is a jewel that ain't still precious?
How could you run off on me?
How could you run off on us?
You feel like God inside that gold
I found you laying down with Samson
And his full head of hair
Found my black queen, Cleopatra
Bad dreams, Cleopatra
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, whoa, remove her
Send them cheetahs to the tomb
Oh, our war is over, it's over
Our queen has met her doom
Oh, no more, she lives no more
A serpent's in her room
Oh, no more
He has killed (Cleopatra, Cleopatra)
[Bridge]
Big sun coming strong through the motel blinds
Wake up to your girl, for now let's call her Cleopatra, Cleopatra
I'll watch you fix your hair then put your panties on in the mirror
Cleopatra
Then your lipstick, Cleopatra
Then your six-inch heels, catch her
She's headed to the pyramid
She's working at the pyramid tonight
[Chorus]
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid, oh
Working at the pyramid tonight, yeah
Working at the pyramid, oh
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
[Verse 3]
Pimping in my convos
Bubbles in my champagne, let it be some jazz playing
Top floor motel suite, twisting my cigars
Floor model TV with the VCR
Got rubies in my damn chain
Whip ain't got no gas tank, but it still got woodgrain
Got your girl working for me
Hit the strip and my bill's paid, that keep my bills paid
Hit the strip and my bill's paid, keep a **** bills paid
She's working at the pyramid tonight
[Chorus]
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid, oh
Working at the pyramid tonight, yeah
Working at the pyramid, ooh (Working at the pyramid tonight)
Working at the pyramid
[Verse 4]
You showed up after work, I'm bathing your body
Touch you in places only I know
You're wet and you're warm just like our bath water
Can we make love before you go?
The way you say my name makes me feel like I'm that ****
But I'm still unemployed
You say it's big, but you take it
Ride cowgirl
But your love ain't free no more
Baby, but your love ain't free no more
[Chorus]
She's working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight, yeah
Working at the pyramid, that's right
Working at the pyramid tonight, yeah
Working at the pyramid, oh
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
