Well, stone the crows, this Joseph is a clever kid |

Who'd have thought that fourteen cows could mean the things he said they did |

Joseph, you must help me further, I have got a job for you |
|
You shall lead us through this crisis, you shall be my number two |
|

Pharaoh told his guards to fetch a chisel from the local store |

Joseph, how can we ever say |
|
All that we want to about you? |

We're so glad that you came our way, |

We would have perished without you |

Old buddies that's you and me |

This could be a happy ending, perfect place to stop the show |
|
Joseph after all has got about as far as he could go |

But I'm sure that Jacob and his other sons have crossed your mind |

How did famine hit the family Joseph left behind? |
