[Narrator]
Joseph was taken
To Egypt in chains and sold
Where he was bought
By a captain named Potiphar
[Narrator and Male Ensemble]
Potiphar had very few cares
He was one of
Egypt's millionaires
Having made a fortune
Buying shares in
[Potipha ]r
Pyramids
[Narrator and Male Ensemble]
Potiphar had made a huge pile
Owned a large percentage
Of the Nile
[Potipha ]r
Which meant that I
Could really live in style
[Narrator and Male Ensemble]
And he did
[Potiphar]
Oh I do
[Narrator]
Joseph was an unimportant slave
Who found he liked his master
Consequently worked
Much harder
Even with devotion
Potiphar could see that Joseph
Was a cut above the average
Made him leader
Of his household
Maximum promotion
[Narrator and Male Ensemble]
Potiphar was cool and so 'llne
[Potipha ]r
But my wife
Will never toe the line
[Narrator and Male]
It's all there
In chapter thirty]-nine of Genesis
Well you can't believe
Everything you read ladies
She was beautiful but evil
Saw a lot of men against his will
He would have to tell her
That she still was his
[Potipha ]r
You're mine
[Narrator]
Joseph's looks
And handsome 'llgure
Had attracted her attention
Ev'ry 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
[Mrs Potiphar]
Pity
[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
If she didn't love him
[Narrator Ensemble and Children]
Letting out a mighty roar
Potiphar burst through the door
[Potipha ]r
Joseph I'll see you rot in jail
The things you have done
Are beyond the pale
[All]
T hings 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
Locked up in a cell
