Playing With the Big Boys Lyrics by Steve Martin, Martin Short

The Prince of Egypt (Music from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

1998

[HOTEP & HUY]
By the power of Ra
Mut, Nut, Khnum, Ptah
Nephthys, Nekhbet, Sobek, Sekhmet
Sokar, Selket, Reshpu, Wadjet
Anubis, Anukis, Seshmu, Meshkent
Hemsut, Tefnut, Heqet, Mafdet
Ra, Mut, Nut, Ptah
Hemsut, Tefnut, Sokar, Selket
Seshmu, Reshpu, Sobek, Wadjet
Heqet, Mafdet, Nephthys, Nekhbet
Ra
[HOTEP]
So you think you've got friends in high places
With the power to put us on the run?
[HUY, HOTEP & HUY]
Well, forgive us these smiles on our faces
You'll know what power is when we are done, Son
[HOTEP]
You're playing with the big boys now
[HUY]
Playing with the big boys now
[HOTEP, spoken]
Oh, that's pretty
[HOTEP]
Every spell and gesture
[HUY]
Tells you who's the best
[HOTEP & HUY, EGYPTIAN PRIESTS]
You're playing with the big boys now (By the power of Ra)
You're playing with the big boys now (Mut, Nut, Khnum, Ptah)
You're playing with the big boys now (Hemsut, Tefnut, Sokar, Selket)
[HOTEP]
Stop this foolish mission
[HUY]
Watch a true magician
[HOTEP & HUY]
Give an exhibition, how?
[HUY]
Pick up your silly twig, boy
[HOTEP & HUY, HUY]
You're playing with the big boys now (Hahahaha)
[EGYPTIAN PRIESTS]
By the power of Ra
Mut, Nut, Khnum, Ptah
Sobek, Sekhmet, Sokar, Selket
Anubis, Anukis
Hemsut, Tefnut, Heqet, Mafdet
[HOTEP, HUY & EGYPTIAN PRIESTS]
You're playing with the big boys now
You're playing with the big boys now
[HOTEP & HUY]
By the might of Horus
You will kneel before us
Kneel to our splendorous power
[HOTEP, HUY & CHOR]
You put up a front, you put a fightA
And just to show we feel no spite
You can be our acolyte
But first, boy, it's time to bow (Kowtow!)
[HOTEP & HUY]
Or it's your own grave you'll dig, boy
You're playing with the big boys
[HOTEP, HUY & EGYPTIAN PRIESTS]
Playing with the big boys (Playing with the big boys)
Playing with the big boys (Playing with the big boys)
Playing with the big boys (Playing with the big boys)
Playing with the big boys (Playing with the big boys)
Playing with the big boys now
