Our skin like bronze and our hair like cashmere 

As we march to the rhythm 

On the palace floor 

Chandeliers inside the pyramid 

Tremble from the force 

Cymbals crash inside the pyramid 

Voices fill up the halls 

Set the cheetahs on the loose 

There's a thief out on the move 

Underneath our legion's view 

They have taken Cleopatra, Cleopatra 

The jewel of Africa 

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 

Remove her 

Send the cheetahs to the tomb 

Our war is over, our queen has met her doom 

No more she lives, no more serpent in her room 

No more, it has killed Cleopatra, Cleopatra 

Big sun coming strong through the motel blinds 

Wake up to your girl for now let's call her Cleopatra,Cleopatra 

I watch you fix your hairThen 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 

Working at the pyramid 

Working at the pyramid tonight 

Working at the pyramid 

Working at the pyramid tonight 

Working at the pyramid 

Working at the pyramid tonight 

Working at the pyramid 

Working at the pyramid tonight 

Working at the pyramid 

Working at the pyramid tonight

dotty for dalmation

Daphne Guinness - a monochrome loving, modern day incarnation of Cruella Deville

This Autumn, Cruella Deville will be your go-to style icon as the fashion world goes dotty for dalmation print. It's been a long time coming, while I see leopard print as a classic wardrobe staple, it can look tacky or tired. We've seen forays into tiger stripe and snakeskin print but in classy monochrome dalmation spots are always set to look chic. Anyway seasoned front rower Daphne Guinnes looks like she's a cigarette holder away from chanelling Cruella.
