Joseph - Grovel, Grovel lyrics
rate me(Joseph)<br />
I dreamed that in the fields one day<br />
The corn gave me a 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 realize why<br />
<br />
How do I know where you come 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 />
(Brothers & Narrator)<br />
Grovel, grovel, cringe, bow, stoop, fall<br />
Worship, worship, beg, kneel, sponge, crawl<br />
<br />
(Brothers)<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 our 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 />
<br />
(Brothers & Narrator)<br />
Grovel, grovel, cringe, bow, stoop, fall<br />
Worship, worship, beg, kneel, sponge, crawl<br />
<br />
(Joseph)<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 />
<br />
(Brothers)<br />
This is what we hoped he'd say<br />
<br />
(Joseph)<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 />
<br />
(Brothers & Narrator)<br />
Grovel, grovel, cringe, bow, stoop, fall<br />
Worship, worship, beg, kneel, sponge, crawl<br />
<br />
(Brothers)<br />
Thank you, thank you, cringe, bow, stoop, fall<br />
Worship, worship, beg, kneel, sponge, crawl<br />
<br />
(Narrator)<br />
Joseph handed them sackloads of food<br />
And they grovelled in base gratitude<br />
<br />
(Female Ensemble)<br />
Then unseen, Joseph nipped out around the back<br />
And planted a cup in young Benjamin's sack<br />
<br />
(Narrator)<br />
When the brothers were ready to go<br />
Joseph turned to them all<br />
With a terrible stare and said<br />
<br />
(Joseph & Children)<br />
No No No No No
