Lyrics
Next day far from home
The brothers planned the repulsive crime
Let us grab him now
Do him in while we've got the time
This they did and made the most of it
Tore his coat and flung him in a pit
Let us leave him here all alone
ad he's bound to die
When the Ishamelites a hairy crew
came riding by
In a flash the brothers changed their plan
we need cas lets sell him if we can
Poor, poor Joseph what'cha gonna do
Things look bad for you hey
What'cha gonna do
Poor, poor Joseph what'cha gonna do
Things look bad for you hey
What'cha gonna do
Could you use a slave
You hairy bunch of Ishmalites
Young strong well behaved
Going cheap as he reads and writes
In as trice the dirty deal is done
Silver coins and Jacob's favourite son
Then the Ishmaelites
Galloped off in a slave and tow
Off to Eygpt where Joseph was not
Keen to go it could a picnic he could tell
And I don't speak Egyptian very well
Joseph's brothers tore his precious
Multicoloured clat having ripped it up
They next attacked a passing goat
Soon the wretched creature was no more
They dipped his coat in blood
And guts and gore oh now brothers
How low can you stoop you make a
sordid group hey how low can you stoop
Poor poor Joseph sold to be a slave
Situations grave hey sold to be a slave
