Pharaoh said
"Well, stone the crows! This Joseph is a clever kid!
Who'd have thought that fourteen cows
Could mean the things he said they did?"
"Joseph, you must help me further
I have found a job for you
You shall lead us through this crisis
You shall be my number two!"
Pharaoh told his guards to fetch a chisel from the local store
Where upon he ordered them to cut the chains that Joseph wore
Joseph got a royal pardon and a host of splendid things
A chariot of gold, a cloak, a medal and some signet rings
Joseph! (Joseph!)
Pharaoh's number two
Joseph! (Joseph!)
Egypt looks to you
Joseph! (Joseph!)
Pharaoh's number two
Joseph! (Joseph!)
Egypt looks to you
Joseph!
Seven summers on the trot were perfect, just as Joseph said
Joseph saw that food was gathered, ready for the years ahead
Seven years of famine followedโEgypt did not mind a bit
The first recorded rationing in history was a hit!
Joseph how can we ever say
All that we want to about you
We're so glad that you came our way
We should have perished without you
Joseph, we are the perfect team
Old buddiesโthat's you and me
I was wise to have chosen you
You'll be wise to agree
Joseph how can we ever say
All that we want to about you
We're so glad that you came our way
We should have perished without you
We were in a jam
Would have baffled Abraham
But now we're a partnership
It's just a piece of cake
(Greatest man since Noah)
(Only goes to show'a)
Anyone from anywhere can make it
If they get a lucky break
This could be a happy endingโperfect place to stop the show
Joseph, after all, has got about as far as he can go
But I'm sure that Jacob and his other sons have crossed your mind...
How had famine hit the family Joseph left behind?
