[Part I]

[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

[Bridge]

Run, run, run, come back for my glory (Cleopatra, Cleopatra)

Bring her back to me (Cleopatra, Cle-o-patra, Cleopatra)

Run, run, run, the crown of our pharaoh (Cleopatra, Cleopatra)

The throne of our queen is empty (Cle-o-patra, Cleopatra)

[Verse 1]

We'll run to the future, shining like diamonds

In a rocky world, rocky-ky world

Our skin like bronze and our hair like cashmere

As we march to the rhythm on the palace floor, ah-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

Aye, ah, aye

There's a thief out on the move

Oh, oh, oh, ooh

Underneath our legion's view

Aye, ah, aye

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

I found my black queen, Cleopatra, bad dreams, Cleopatra

[Outro]

Oh, oh, woah

Remove her, send the cheetahs to the tomb

Oh, oh, woah

Our war is 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

[Part II]

[Segue]

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

[Refrain]

She's working at the pyramid tonight

Working at the pyramid, ayy

Working at the pyramid tonight, oh yeah

Working at the pyramid, oh-ah

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 1]

Pimpin' 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 nigga bills paid

[Refrain]

She's working at the pyramid tonight

Working at the pyramid, ayy

Working at the pyramid tonight, ayy

Working at the pyramid, oh-ah

Working at the pyramid tonight, yeah

Working at the pyramid, ooh

Working at the pyramid tonight

Working at the pyramid

[Verse 2]

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 bathwater

Can we make love before you go?

The way you say my name makes me feel like I'm that nigga

But I'm still unemployed

You could 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

[Refrain]

She's working at the pyramid tonight

Working at the pyramid, ayy

Working at the pyramid tonight, oh yeah

Working at the pyramid, that's right

Working at the pyramid tonight, yeah

Working at the pyramid, ooh

Working at the pyramid tonight

Working at the pyramid

Working at the pyramid tonight
