|
Joseph's luck was really out |
|
His spirit and his fortune low |
|
Alone he sat, alone he thought |
|
Of happy times he used to know |
| [1st Man] |
|
|
Hey, dreamer, don't be so upset |
| [2nd Man] |
|
|
hey Joseph, you're not beaten yet |
|
[Narrator & Ensemble] |
|
Go, go go Joseph, you know what they say |
|
Hang on now, Joseph, you'll make it some day |
|
Don't give up, Joseph, fight till you drop |
|
We've read the book, and you come out on top |
|
[Narrator] |
|
Now, into Joseph's prison cell |
|
were flung two very frightened men |
|
[Baker & Butler] |
|
We don't think that we will ever |
|
see the light of day again |
|
Hey, Joseph, help us if you can |
|
We've had dreams that we don't understand |
|
[Narrator & Ensemble] |
|
Both men were servants of Pharaoh the King |
|
Both in the doghouse for doing their thing |
|
[Narrator] |
|
One was a baker, a cook in his prime |
|
One was a butler, the Jeeves of his time |
|
[Joseph] |
|
Tell me of your dreams, my friends |
|
And I will tell you what they show |
|
Though I cannot guarantee |
|
To get it right, I'll have a go |
|
[Narrator] |
|
First the butler, trembling, took the floor |
|
Nervously he spoke of what he saw |
|
[Butler] |
|
There I was standing in front of a vine |
|
I picked some grapes and I crushed them to wine |
|
I gave some to Pharaoh, who drank from my cup |
|
I tried to interpret, but I had to give up |
|
[Joseph] |
|
You will soon be free, my friend |
|
So do not worry anymore |
|
The King will let you out of here |
|
You'll butle as you did before |
|
[Narrator] |
|
Next the baker rose to tell his dream |
|
Hoping it would have a similar theme |
|
[Baker] |
|
There I was standing with baskets of bread |
|
High in the sky I saw birds overhead |
|
Who flew to my basket and ate every slice |
|
Now give me the message - like his, would be nice |
|
[Joseph] |
|
Sad to say your dream is not |
|
The kind of dream I'd like to get |
|
Pharaoh has it in for you |
|
Your execution date is set |
|
Don't rely on all I said I saw |
|
It's just that I have not been wrong before |
|
