2. Ramesses the Great
Many years ago there lived a mighty Pharoah, Ramesses the Second was his name.
More than sixty years he ruled so wisely that it brought him great fame.
Egypt prospered; it was such good fortune that great Ramesses the Second lived so long:
in his reign he put an end to war and famine - Praise Him in Song!
Praise him for all the wondrous monuments he built right there by the Nile.
Go see them for yourself and you'll agree he really was the King of Style!
Mighty temples in the desert sands they tell of
Ramesses the Second's majesty:
In the Valley of the Kings and Karnak there are such sights to see!
Let's go to Abu Simbel (a truly awesome sight):
its statues tell a tale of such power and might!

3. Greeks bearing gifts
Land of myth and legend - islands, mountains, sea;
here it was the ancient Greeks boldly started their Odyssey.
They began their journey of discovery, it paved the way for our world today:
those Greek gifts made us who we are; they help us in so many different ways.
For Science and Philosophy, for showing us the way to be free;
for Poetry, Astronomy, we all say "efaristo poly"*.
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la did-dle did-dle dee.
La la la la la la la la, we all say "efaristo poly".
Famous names like Hercules, Alexander the Great,
call to us across the years - we're still curious to know their fate.
Names of legend, names of history and their stories still speak to us today:
those Greek gifts made us who we are; they help us in so many different ways.
For Jason and the Argonauts, who to seek adventure sailed across the sea;
for Daedalus and Icarus we all say "efaristo poly".
Then there's Socrates, Pythagorus, Archimedes just to mention only three;
for Plato and Euripides we all say "efaristo poly".
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la did-dle did-dle dee. La la la la la la la la, we all say "efaristo poly".

4. All roads lead to Rome
Just a hundred steps now for our aching, weary feet to take
then we'll give ourselves a well-earned break (from marching).
We can set up camp here for tonight and wash away the dust.
When tomorrow comes you know we must keep going:
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, twenty miles a day we go.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, helping Rome's great empire grow.
We're in the army, the Roman army now!
When we reach our final destination there's more work to do -
clearing forests, draining marshes too (the whole day through).
After that we'll start to build new roads that must be straight and true:
from York to Leicester first and then from Bath to Chester.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, twenty miles a day we go.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, helping Rome's great empire grow.
We're in the army, the Roman army now!
We are far from home; we often think of Rome.
Life is so much easier there; the warming sun, the fragrant air.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, twenty miles a day we go.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, helping Rome's great empire grow.
We're in the army, the Roman army.
Draining marshes, clearing forests all day through;
building roads that must be straight and must be true –
from Bath to Chester, from York to Leicester.

5. In the city
It's a busy life workin' 9 to 5, feelin' the heat when you're walkin' down the street.
Rushin’ around no time to spare; take a day off? You wouldn't dare!
In the East, in the West we’re all lookin’ for the best,
but of course this means that we never get a rest.
Life in the city isn't always pretty; you've gotta get down to the nitty gritty!
Still Planet Earth spins round each day. Light follows dark the same old way.
Around the globe the traffic's roaring. One thing's for sure - life's never boring!
In every corner of the world you will find them - great modern cities growing fast:
The human race needs someone bright to remind them
That if they keep this pace up Earth's resources cannot last!
I've got people to meet, grab a bite to eat, deadlines coming up that I've really got to beat.
Haven't had a rest since way back when; I'll take a deep breath and count to ten.
It's the same in Leeds as it is in Aberdeen: tryin' to park a car is the worst it's ever been.
Life in the city isn't always pretty; you've gotta get down to the nitty gritty!
Perhaps it's time to think about how we're living;
to what ideal should we aspire?
We could take yoga up; they say it's life giving?
Or find another pastime; maybe we could join a choir? Ah!
In the East, in the West we’re all lookin’ for the best,
but of course this means that we never get a rest.
Life in the city isn't always pretty; you've gotta get down to the nitty gritty!
*Voice 1:
In the ci-ty! In the ci-ty! In the ci-ty! In the ci-ty!
*Voices 2 and 3 alternating (spoken):

Monte Carlo, Santiago, Casablanca, Salamanca,
Rawalpindi, Kuala Lumpur, Buenos Aires,

11. I got rhythm
Days can be sunny, with never a sigh,
Don't need what money can buy
Birds in the trees sing their day full of song,
Why shouldn't we sing along?
I'm chipper all the day, happy with my lot,
How do I get that way, look at what I've got
I got rhythm, I got music,
I got my man, who could ask for anything more?
I've got daises in green pastures,
I got my man, who could ask for anything more?
Old man trouble, I don't mind him
You won’t find him 'round my door
I got starlight, I got sweet dreams,
I got my man, who could ask for anything more?
Who could ask for anything more.
Don't need what money can buy
Birds in the trees sing their day full of song,
Why shouldn't we sing along?
I'm chipper all the day, happy with my lot,
How do I get that way, look at what I've got
I got rhythm, I got music,

12. One moment in time
Verse 1
Each day I live, I want to be,
A day to give, the best of me.
I'm only one, but not alone,
My finest day, is yet unknown.
I broke my heart, fought every gain,
To taste the sweet, I face the pain
I rise and fall, yet through it all,
This much remains
Chorus
I want one moment in time,
When I'm more than I thought I could be.
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away,
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time,
When I'm racing with destiny.
Then in that one moment of time,
I will feel, I will feel eternity.
Verse 2
I've lived to be, The very best, I want it all, No time for less
I've laid the plans, Now lay the chance, Here in my hands
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time,
When I'm racing with destiny.
Then in that one moment of time,
I will feel, I will feel eternity.
You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time, make it shine!
Give me one moment in time,
When I'm more than I thought I could be.
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away,
And the answers are all up to me.
Give me one moment in time,
When I'm racing with destiny.
Then in that one moment of time
I will be, I will be, I will be free.
I will be, I will be free.
Each day I live, I want to be,
A day to give, the best of me.
I'm only one, but not alone,
My finest day, is yet unknown.
I broke my heart, fought every gain,
To taste the sweet, I face the pain
I rise and fall, yet through it all,
This much remains
Chorus
I want one moment in time,
When I'm more than I thought I could be.
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away,
And the answers are all up to me
