Narrator
Joseph was taken to Egypt in chains and sold
Where he was bought by a captain named Potiphar

Narrator & MM
Potiphar had very few cares
He was one of Egypt's millionaires

Having made a fortune buying shares in
Potiphar
Pyramids

Narrator & MM
Potiphar had made a huge pile
Owned a large percentage of the Nile

Potiphar
Meant that I could really live in style
Narrator & MM

And he did
Narrator
Joseph was an unimportant

Slave who found he liked his master
Consequently worked much harder
Even with devotion

Poitphar could see that Joseph
Was a cut above the average
Made him leader of his household

Maximum promotion
Narrator & MM
Potiphar was cool and so fine

Potiphar
But my wife would never toe the line
Narrator & MM

It's all there in chapter thirty-nine Of Genesis
She was beautiful but
Mrs. Potiphar

Evil
Narrator & MM
Saw a lot of men against his will

He would have to tell her that she still
Was his
Narrator

Joseph's looks and handsome figure
Had attracted her attention
Every morning she would beckon

Mrs. Potiphar
Come and lie with me, love
Narrator

Joseph wanted to resist her
'Till one day she proved too eager
Joseph cried in vain

Joseph
Please stop
I don't believe in free love

Narrator
Potiphar was counting sheckels
In his den below the bedroom

When he heard a mighty rumpus
Clattering above him
Suddenly he knew his riches

Couldn't buy him what he wanted
Gold would never make him happy
If she didn't love him

Narrator, Ensemble & Children
Letting out a mighty roar
Potiphar burst through the door

Potiphar
Joseph, I'll see you rot in jail
The things you have done are beyond the pale

Narrator, Ensemble & Children
Poor, poor Joseph, locked up in a cell
Things ain't going well, hey, locked up in a cell

Poor, poor Joseph, locked up in a cell
Things ain't going well, hey, locked up in a cell
