Joseph - The Brothers Come To Egypt lyrics

rate me

(Narrator)<br />

So back in Canaan the future looked rough<br />

Jacob's family were finding it tough<br />

<br />

(Brothers)<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 />

<br />

(Reuben)<br />

We will starve if we hang around here<br />

<br />

(Zebulon)<br />

But in Egypt there's food going spare<br />

<br />

(Asher)<br />

They've got corn<br />

They've got meat<br />

They've got fruit and drinks<br />

<br />

(Dan)<br />

And if we have the time<br />

We could see the Sphinx<br />

<br />

(Narrator)<br />

So they finally decided to go<br />

Off to Egypt to see brother Jo<br />

<br />

So they all lay before Joseph's feet<br />

<br />

(Brothers)<br />

Mighty prince, give us something to eat<br />

<br />

(Narrator)<br />

Joseph found it a strain<br />

Not to laugh because<br />

Not a brother among them<br />

Knew who he was<br />

<br />

(Joseph)<br />

I shall now take them all for a ride<br />

After all they have tried fratricide
