The Brothers Come To Egypt / Grovel, Grovel

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!
