Lyrics

(CLEOPATRA)
YES SIR, WE LIVE FOR PLEASURE.
YOU’RE NOT IN ROME, SO LIVE IN STYLE UPON THE NILE.

(MARC ANTONY)
I’M A MAN SO I UNDERSTAND
JUST HOW YOU MAKE IT WORTH MY WHILE.
WHEN YOU’RE STANDING OVER THERE
AND THE WIND CATCHES YOUR HAIR,
JUST THE SCENT CAN SEND ME REELING.
AND YOUR GAZE IS SO DISTRACTING
ALL MY POWER TO REASON DISAPPEARS.

(IRAS)
PLEASURE,
JUST LIVE FOR PLEASURE.
IT’S NOT A SIN,
SO LET’S BEGIN TO HAVE SOME FUN.
TAKE A CHANCE,
I’LL TEACH YOU TO DANCE
COME ON I’LL SHOW YOU
JUST HOW IT’S DONE.
JUST A WIGGLE AND A TWIST
THE DANCERS FROM PHOENICIA
FROLIC IN A MANNER
SURE TO PLEASE YA.

(QUINTUS)
HYPNOTIZING,
MESMERIZING,
SCINTILLATING
DANCING TO ENJOY.

(EGYPTIAN CHORUS)
PLEASURE, WE LIVE FOR PLEASURE,
SO IF YOU’RE EVER FEELING BORED,
WE HAVE A CURE.
SIGHT, DELIGHT,
ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT,
IF IT’S APPEALING,
WHY NOT HAVE MORE?
GRATIFY YOUR EVERY LONGING,
APPETITE OR CRAVING.
PLEASURE IS THE AIM OF ANY ACTION.
IF YOU WANT IT,
YOU CAN HAVE IT.
SEE IT, HEAR IT, FEEL IT, AND ENJOY!
PLEASURE, PLEASURE, PLEASURE, AH!

(ROMAN SOLDIERS
sung simultaneously with EGYPTIAN CHORUS)
PLEASURE,
WE LIVE FOR PLEASURE,
WE LIVE FOR PLEASURE,
WE LIVE FOR PLEASURE.
WE LIVE TO SATISFY,
ADVENTURE AND EXPLORE.
IT’S WHAT WE ARE LIVING FOR.
OH...
TO SENSE,
TO TASTE,
TO HAVE
THE JOY!
PLEASURE,
WE LIVE FOR PLEASURE,
WE LIVE FOR PLEASURE,
AH!
