[Narrator]
Guess what
In his bed Pharaoh
Had an uneasy night
He had had a dream
That pinned him
To his sheets with fright
No one knew
The meaning of the dream
What to do
Whatever could it mean
Then his butler said
[Butler]
I know of a bloke in jail
Who is hot on dreams
Could explain old Pharaoh's tale
[Narrator] Pharaoh said
[Pharaoh]
Well fetch this Joseph man
I need him to help me
If he can
[Narrator and Ensemble]
Poor poor Pharaoh
What'cha gonna do
Dreams are haunting you
Hey what'cha gonna do
[Narrator]
Chained and bound afraid alone
Joseph stood before the throne
[Joseph]
My service to Pharaoh
Has begun
Tell me your problems
Mighty one
[Pharaoh and Ensemble]
Well welcome to Egypt land
Joseph
Well I was wandering along
By the banks of the river
When seven fat cows
Came up out of the Nile uh-huh
Oh yeah
And right behind
These 'llne healthy animals came
Seven other cows skinny and vile
Uh-huh
Oh yeah
Well the thin cows
Ate the fat cows
Which I thought
Would do them good
Uh-huh
Well it didn't make them fatter
Like I thought a
Monster supper should
Well the thin cows
Were as thin
As they had ever
Ever ever been
Well this dream
Has got me baffled
Hey Joseph what does it mean
Now you know
That kings ain't stupid
But I don't have a clue
So don't ya be cruel now Joseph
Help me now I beg ofyou
Well I was standing
Doing nothing
In a field out of town
When I saw seven a beautiful
Ears of corn uh-huh oh yeah
They were ripe they were golden
And you've guessed it
Right behind them there were
Seven other ears
Tattered and torn uh-huh oh yeah
Well the bad corn
Ate the good corn
They came up from behind
Yes they did
Well Joseph here's the punch line
It's really gonna blow your mind
Baby blow your lid
Well the bad corn was as bad
As it had ever ever ever been
Well this dream has got me
All shook up so treat me nice
And tell me what it means
Hey hey Joseph
Won't you please tell old Pharaoh
What does this mean
Oh yeah
[Joseph]
Now I understand
The part about the cows but
I'm not quite sure about the corn
Could you explain that to me
One more time
Mr. Pharaoh man
[Pharaoh]
Hey Joseph
Won't you please tell old Pharaoh
What does this mean
Oh yeah
