Narrator <br>
<br>
So back in Canaan the future looked rough<br>
Jacob's family were finding it tough <br>
Brothers <br>
<br>
For the famine has caught us unprepared<br>
We are thin<br>
We are ill<br>
We are getting scared<br>
It's enough to make anyone weep<br>
We are down to our very last sheep <br>
Reuben <br>
<br>
We will starve if we hang around here <br>
Zebulun <br>
<br>
But in Egypt there's food going spare <br>
Asher <br>
<br>
They've got corn<br>
They've got meat<br>
They've got fruit and drinks <br>
Dan <br>
<br>
And if we have the time<br>
We could see the Sphinx <br>
Narrator <br>
<br>
So they finally decided to go<br>
Off to Egypt to see brother Jo <br>
So they all lay before<br>
Joseph's feet <br>
<br>
Brothers <br>
<br>
Mighty prince, give us something to eat <br>
Narrator <br>
<br>
Joseph found it a strain<br>
Not to laugh because<br>
Not a brother among them<br>
Knew who he was <br>
Joseph <br>
<br>
I shall now take them all for a ride<br>
After all they have tried fratricide <br>
<br>
<br>

GROVEL, GROVEL <br>
<br>
Joseph <br>
<br>
I dreamed that in the fields one day,<br>
The corn gave me sign<br>
Your eleven sheaves of corn<br>
All turned and bowed to mine<br>
I dreamed I saw eleven stars,<br>
The sun the moon and sky<br>
Bowing down before my star,<br>
And now I realise why <br>
How do I know where you came from?<br>
You could be spies<br>
Telling me that you are hungry -<br>
That could be lies<br>
How do I know who you are?<br>
Why do you think I should help you?<br>
Would you help me?<br>
Why on earth should I believe you?<br>
I've no guarantee <br>
<br>
Narrator & Brothers <br>
<br>
Grovel, grovel, cringe, bow, stoop, fall<br>
Worship, worship, beg, kneel, sponge, crawl <br>
Brothers <br>
<br>
We are just eleven brothers,<br>
Good men and true<br>
Though we know we count for nothing<br>
When up next to you<br>
Honesty's are middle name<br>
Life is slowly ebbing from us,<br>
Hope's almost gone<br>
It's getting very hard to see us<br>
From sideways on <br>
Narrator & Brothers <br>
<br>
Grovel, grovel, cringe, bow, stoop, fall<br>
Worship, worship, beg, kneel, sponge, crawl <br>
Jospeh <br>
<br>
I rather like the way you're talking,<br>
Astute and sincere<br>
Suddenly your tragic story<br>
It gets me right here <br>
Brothers <br>
<br>
This is what we hoped he'd say <br>
Jospeh <br>
<br>
All this tugging at my heartstrings<br>
Seems quite justified<br>
I shall give you what you came for<br>
And lots more beside <br>
Narrator & Brothers <br>
<br>
Grovel, grovel, cringe, bow, stoop, fall<br>
Worship, worship, beg, kneel, sponge, crawl <br>
Brothers <br>
<br>
Thank you, thank you, cringe, bow, stoop, fall<br>
Worship, worship, beg, kneel, sponge, crawl <br>
Narrator <br>
<br>
Joseph handed them sackloads of food<br>
And they grovelled with base gratitude <br>
Female Ensemble <br>
<br>
Then, unseen, Joseph out around the back<br>
And planted a cup in young Benjamin's sack <br>
Narrator <br>
<br>
When the brothers were ready to go<br>
Jospeh turned to them all<br>
With a terrible stare and said <br>
Joseph <br>
<br>
No No No No No<br>
<br>
