INarrato r1

So back in Canaan

The future looked rough

Jacob's family
Was finding it tough
So back in Canaan

The future looked rough

Jacob's family
Was finding it tough
IBrothersJ

For the famine

Has caught us unprepared

We are thin, we are ill

We are getting scared
It's enough to make anyone weep

We are down

To our very last sheep
IReubenl We will starve
lfwe hang around here
IZebulunJ But in Egypt

There's food going spare
INarratorJ
So they finally decided

To go
Off to Egypt

To see brother Jo
So they all lay
Before Joseph's feet
IBrothersl

Mighty prince

Give us something to eat
INarratorl

Joseph found it a strain

Not to laugh, because

Not a brother among them

Knew who he was
IJosephl
I shall now take them all

For a ride

After all they have tried

Fratricide
IJosephl
I dreamed that in

The fields one day

The corn gave me a sign
Your eleven sheaves of com
All turned and bowed to mine
I dreamed I saw eleven stars

The sun the moon and sky
Bowing down before my star

And now I realize why
How do I know
Where you come from?

You could be spies

Telling me that you are hungry
That could be lies
How do I know who you are?
Why do you think
I should help you?

Would you help me?
INarrator and Brothersl
Grovel, cringe, bow, stoop, fall

Worship, worship

Beg, kneel. sponge, crawl
Grovel, grovel
Cringe, bow, stoop, fall

Worship, worship

Beg, kneel. sponge, crawl
IBrothersl

We are just eleven brothers

Good men and true
Though we know

We count for nothing

When up next to you
Honesty's our middle name

Life is slowly ebbing from us

Hope's almost gone
IJosephl

I rather like the way

You're talking

Asture and sincere
Suddenly your tragic story
Gets me right here
(Brothersl

This is what we hoped he'd say
IJosephl
All this tugging

At my heartstrings

Seems quite justified
I shall give you what you came for
And lots more beside
Brothers and Narratorl

Thank you, thank you

Cringe, bow, stoop, fall
IBrothersl
Thank you, thank you
Cringe, bow, stoop, fall

Worship, worship

Beg, kneel, sponge, crawl
INarratorJ
Joseph handed them
Sackloads of food

And they grovelled
With base gratitude
IFemaIe Ensemblel Then, unseen
Joseph nipped out
Around the back
And planted a cup

In young Benjamin's sack
INarratorJ
When the brothers

Were ready to go
Joseph turned to them all

With a terrible stare and said

IJoseph and Childrenl

No no no no no
IJosephl
Stop you robbers
Your little number's up

One of you has stolen

My precious golden cup
Is it Zebulun? No
Is it Gad? No

Is it Judah? No
Is it him?
IJosephl

Benjamin, you nasty youth

Your crime has shocked me

To the core
Never in my whole career

Have I encountered this before
Guards, seize him!

Lock him in a cell
Throw the keys

Into the Nile as well
INarrato r1

Each of the brothers

Fell to his knees
IBrothersJ

Show him some mercy

Oh mighty one please
He would not do this

He must have been framed
Jail us and beat us
We should be blamed

La la la la, La la la la

La la la la, La la la la
