Joseph was taken to Egypt in chains and sold |
|
Where he was bought by a captain named Potiphar |
|
Potiphar had very few cares |
|
He was one of Egypt's millionaires |
|
Having made a fortune buying shares in pyramids |
|
Potiphar had made a huge pile |
|
Owned a large percentage of the Nile |
|
Meant that he could really live in style, and he did |
|
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 av'rage, |
|
Made him leader of his household, maximum promotion |
|
Potiphar was cool and so fine, |
|
but his wife would never toe the line |
|
It's all there in chapter thirtynine of genesis |
|
She was beautiful but evil, |
|
saw a lot of men against his will |
|
He would have to tell her that she still was his |
|
Joseph's looks and handsome figure had attracted her attention |
|
Every morning she would beckon: "Come and lie with me, love" |
|
Joseph wanted to resist her till one day she proved too eager |
|
Joseph cried in vain: "Please stop! I don't believe in free love!" |
|
Potiphar was counting shequels in his den below the bedroom |
|
When he heard a mighty rumpous 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! |
|
Letting out a mighty roar, Potiphar burst through the door |
|
"Joseph I'll see you rot in jail, |
|
the things you have done are beyond the pale!" |
|
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 |
|
Locked up in a cell |
