Joseph - Potiphar lyrics
rate me(Narrator)<br />
Joseph was taken to Egypt in chains and sold<br />
Where he was bought by a captain named Potiphar<br />
<br />
(Narrator & MM)<br />
Potiphar had very few cares<br />
He was one of Egypt's millionaires<br />
Having made a fortune buying shares in<br />
<br />
(Potiphar)<br />
Pyramids<br />
<br />
(Narrator & MM)<br />
Potiphar had made a huge pile<br />
Owned a large percentage of the Nile<br />
<br />
(Potiphar)<br />
Meant that I could really live in style<br />
<br />
(Narrator & MM)<br />
And he did<br />
<br />
(Narrator)<br />
Joseph was an unimportant<br />
Slave who found he liked his master<br />
Consequently worked much harder<br />
Even with devotion<br />
<br />
Poitphar could see that Joseph<br />
Was a cut above the average<br />
Made him leader of his household<br />
Maximum promotion<br />
<br />
(Narrator & MM)<br />
Potiphar was cool and so fine<br />
<br />
(Potiphar)<br />
But my wife would never toe the line<br />
<br />
(Narrator & MM)<br />
It's all there in chapter thirty-nine<br />
Of Genesis<br />
<br />
She was beautiful but<br />
<br />
(Potiphar)<br />
Evil<br />
<br />
(Narrator & MM)<br />
Saw a lot of men against his will<br />
He would have to tell her that she still<br />
Was his<br />
<br />
(Narrator)<br />
Joseph's looks and handsome figure<br />
Had attracted her attention<br />
Every morning she would beckon<br />
<br />
(Mrs. Potiphar)<br />
Come and lie with me, love<br />
<br />
(Narrator)<br />
Joseph wanted to resist her<br />
'Till one day she proved too eager<br />
Joseph cried in vain<br />
<br />
(Joseph)<br />
Please stop<br />
I don't believe in free love<br />
<br />
(Narrator)<br />
Potiphar was counting sheckels<br />
In his den below the bedroom<br />
When he heard a mighty rumpus<br />
Clattering above him<br />
<br />
Suddenly he knew his riches<br />
Couldn't buy him what he wanted<br />
Gold would never make him happy<br />
If she didn't love him<br />
<br />
(Narrator, Ensemble & Children)<br />
Letting out a mighty roar<br />
Potiphar burst through the door<br />
<br />
(Potiphar)<br />
Joseph, I'll see you rot in jail<br />
The things you have done are beyond the pale<br />
<br />
(Narrator, Ensemble & Children)<br />
Poor, poor Joseph, locked up in a cell<br />
Things ain't going well, hey, locked up in a cell<br />
Poor, poor Joseph, locked up in a cell<br />
Things ain't going well, hey, locked up in a cell
