Lyrics

Pharaoh thought, "Well, stone the crows
This Joseph is a clever kid
Who'd have thought those fourteen cows
Could mean the things he said they did?
Joseph, you must help me further
I have got a job for you
You shall lead us through this crisis
You shall be my number two"
Pharaoh told his guards to fetch a chisel from the local store
Whereupon he ordered them to cut the chains that Joseph wore
Joseph got a royal pardon and a host of splendid things
Chariot of gold, a cloak, a medal and some signet rings
Joseph (Joseph)
Pharaoh's number two
Joseph (Joseph)
Egypt looks to you
Ah, ah
Seven summers on the trot went perfect, just as Joseph said
Joseph saw that food was gathered, ready for the years ahead
Seven years of famine followed, Egypt did not mind a bit
The first recorded rationing in history was a hit
Back in Canaan the future looked rough
Jacob's family were finding it tough
For the famine had caught them unprepared
They were thin, they were ill, they were getting scared
In the end decided to go
Up to Egypt to see brother Joe
So they all lay before Joseph's feet
Mighty prince, give us something to eat
Joseph found it a strain not to laugh because
Not a brother among them knew who he was
"I shall now take them all for a ride
After all, they have tried fratricide"
Joseph handed them sack loads of food
And they groveled with base gratitude
Then unseen, Joseph nipped out around the back
And he planted a cup in young Benjamin's sack
When the brothers were ready to go
Joseph turned to them all with a terrible stare and said
"No! No! No!"
"No! No!"
