Song of the King (Seven Fat Cows)

Well, welcome to Egypt there, Joseph! Well, I was wandering along the banks of the river When seven fat cows came out of the Nile, uh-huh-huh, oh yeah And right behind these fine healthy animals Came seven other cows—skinny and vile, uh-huh-huh, oh yeah Well, the thin cows ate the fat cows Which I thought would do them good, uh-huh-huh But it didn't make 'em fatter like I thought a monster supper should Well, the thin cows were as thin as they had Ever, ever, ever, ever been This dream has got me baffled Hey Joseph, what does it mean? Well, you know that kings ain't stupid But I don't have a clue So don't be cruel, Joseph Help me now, I beg of you! Well, I was standing doing nothing in a field out of town When I saw seven beautiful ears of corn, uh-huh-huh, oh yeah They were ripe, they were golden, and you guessed it Right behind them there were seven other ears Tattered and torn, uh-huh-huh, oh yeah Well, the bad corn ate the good corn Yeah, they came up from behind, yes they did But Joseph here's the punch line It's really gonna blow your mind baby—flip your lid! Well, the bad corn was as bad as it had Ever, ever, ever, ever been This dream has got me all shook up So treat me nice and tell me what it means Hey Hey Hey, hey, hey Joseph Won't you please tell the Pharaoh What does it mean? Whoa, yeah! Well, I understand the bit about the corn But I'm not quite sure about the cows So I was wondering if you could tell me just one more time Mr. Pharaoh, man, please Hey, hey, hey Joseph Won't you please tell the Pharaoh What does this crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy dream mean? Whoa, yeah!
