Potiphar — текст песни (Joseph)

(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

(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
