The scene appeared as a great throne room, with Hank, in Pharaoh costume. "It's good to be the king..."

Callisto with Wanda, Scaleface, Tabby, Amara, and Danielle, were around the throne, all the girls but Callisto (dressed as handmaidens), were to sing backup and generally fawn over Hank.

Callisto started singing. "I Pharaoh Hank, he was a powerful man

With the ancient world in the palm of his hand

To all intents and purposes he

Was Bayville with a capital B

Whatever he did he was showered with praise

If he cracked a joke then you chortled for days

No-one had rights or a vote but the king

In fact you might say he was fairly right-wing../I"

"I'm not, really," Hank pointed out. "I voted for Nader! Green Party all the way, people!"

Callisto continued singing."I When Pharaoh Hank's around, then you get down on the ground

If you ever find yourself out on the seas -- get down on your knees./I"

"IA Pharaoh Hank story, a Pharaoh Hank story/I" the girls chorused.

"IDown at the other end of the scale

Kurt is still doing time in jail

For even though he is in with the guards

A lifetime in prison seems quite on the cards

But if my analysis of the position is right

At the end of the tunnel there's a glimmer of light

For all of a sudden indescribable things

Have shattered the sleep of both peasants and kings

Strange as it seems, there's been a run of crazy dreams

And a man who can interpret could go far -- could become a star.../I"

"ICould be famous, could be a big success /I"

"ICould be a star/I"

The music changed, becoming more uptempo. Pietro, still in the suit, appeared. Callisto started to sing.

"IGuess what? In his bed

Pharaoh Hank had an uneasy night

He had had a dream that pinned him to his sheets with fright

No-one knew the meaning of the dream

What to do? Whatever could it mean?

Then his butler said /I"

"II know a bloke in jail

Who is hot on dreams, could explain old Pharaoh Hank's tale /I"

"IPharaoh Hank said fetch this Kurt man

I need him to help me if he can /I"

"IPoor poor Pharaoh Hank, what'cha gonna do?

Dreams are haunting you, hey, what'cha gonna do/I"

Kurt is brought in, still in chains. "These really do chafe, you know."

Callisto sat down beside him. "I Chained and bound, afraid, alone

Kurt stood before the throne../I"

"IMy service to Pharaoh Hank has begun

Tell me your problems, mighty one /I"

The music changed to an Elvis-ish, honky-tonk sound as Hank began to sing. "I Well I was wandering along by the banks of the river

When seven fat cows came out of the Nile

And right behind them fine healthy animals came seven other cows, skinny and vile

Well the thin cows ate the fat cows which I thought would do them good

But it didn't make them fatter like I thought a monster supper should

Because the thin ones were as thin as they had ever ever been

This dream has got me baffled, hey Kurt, tell me what it means

C'mon you know that kings ain't stupid

But I don't have a clue

So don't be cruel Kurt

You gotta help me now I beg of you

I was standing doing nothing in a field out of town –

I saw seven beautiful ears of corn

They were ripe they were golden but you guessed it right behind them were seven other ears -- tattered and torn

Then the bad corn ate the good corn man they came up right behind yes they did

And Kurt here's the punchline it's really gonna blow your mind -- flip your lid

Because the bad corn was as bad as it had ever ever been

This dream has got me all shook up, treat me nice and tell me what it means

Hey hey Kurt won't you tell me what this crazy dream really means/I"
