So!
Back in Canaan the future looked rough
Jacob's family were finding it tough
For the famine has caught us unprepared
We are thin, we are ill
We are getting scared
It's enough to make anyone weep
We are down to our very last sheep
We will starve if we hang around here
But in Egypt there's food going spare
They've got corn
They've got meat
They've got fruit and drinks
And if we have the time
We could see the Sphinx!
So they finally decided to go (here we go)
Off to Egypt to see brother Jo!
So they all lay before (doo-doo-ah)
Joseph's feet (feet, feet, feet)
Mighty prince, give us (doo-doo-ah)
Something to eat (eat, eat, eat)
Joseph found it a strain (doo-doo-bah)
Not to laugh because (ha-ha-ha-ha, ha!)
Not a brother among them (oh, brother)
Knew who he was (who he was)
I shall now take them all for a ride
After all they have tried fratricide
I dreamed that in the fields one day
The corn gave me sign
Your eleven sheaves of corn
All turned and bowed to mine
I dreamed I saw eleven stars
The sun, the moon and sky
Bowing down before my star
And now I realise why
How do I know where you came from?
You could be spies
Telling me that you are hungry
That could be lies
How do I know who you are?
Why do you think I should help you?
Would you help me? (Yes!)
Why on earth should I believe you?
I've no guarantee!
Grovel, grovel
Cringe, bow, stoop, fall
Worship, worship
Beg, kneel, sponge, crawl
Grovel, grovel (grovel, grovel)
Cringe, bow, stoop, fall (grovel, grovel)
Worship, worship (grovel, grovel)
Beg, kneel, sponge, crawl (grovel, grovel)
We are just eleven brothers
Good men and true
Though we know we count for nothing
When up next to you
Honesty's our middle name
Life is slowly ebbing from us
Hope's almost gone
It's getting very hard to see us
From sideways on
Grovel, grovel (grovel, grovel)
Cringe, bow, stoop, fall (grovel, grovel)
Worship, worship (grovel, grovel)
Beg, kneel, sponge, crawl (grovel, grovel)
I rather like the way you're talking
Astute and sincere
Suddenly your tragic story
It gets me right here
This is what we hoped he'd say
All this tugging at my heartstrings
Seems quite justified
I shall give you what you came for
And lots more beside
Grovel, grovel (thank you, thank you)
Grovel, grovel (cringe, bow, stoop, fall)
Grovel, grovel (worship, worship)
Grovel, grovel (beg, kneel, sponge, crawl)
Thank you, thank you (grovel, grovel)
Cringe, bow, stoop, fall (grovel, grovel)
Worship, worship (grovel, grovel)
Beg, kneel, sponge (grovel)
Crawl...
Joseph handed them sack-loads of food
And they grovelled with base gratitude
Then, unseen, Joseph nipped (yum, yum, yum)
Out around the back (yum, yum, yum, yum)
And planted a cup in (yum, yum, yum, yum)
Young Benjamin's sack (yum, yum, yum)
When the brothers were ready to go
Joseph turned to them all
With a terrible stare and said
No!
No!
No! No! No!
