Curb Your Doggerel #3

I think we're all done having fun.
Mummy's coming -- better run!
Not the mummy that we know
Bandage-wrapped from head to toe.
He was an Egyptian pharaoh
Buried in a coffin narrow
Deep within a treasure room
In pyramid, a pharaoh's tomb.
Robbers came, some bad, some worse
And released the Pharaoh's curse.
They opened the sarcophagus.
So why's the mummy chasing us?
I think we're all done having fun.
Mummy's coming -- better run!
Not the mummy that we know
Bandage-wrapped from head to toe.
He was an Egyptian pharaoh
Buried in a coffin narrow
Deep within a treasure room
In pyramid, a pharaoh's tomb.
Robbers came, some bad, some worse
And released the Pharaoh's curse.
They opened the sarcophagus.
So why's the mummy chasing us?

Oddly enough, it's spelled "pharAOh": pharaoh. And there's an adjective, "pharaonic", this one pronounced about it looks, "fair-ay-ON-ik", so if you can remember that, you can use it to remember the noun.
