Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat - Potiphar Lyrics
Potiphar had very few cares.He was one of Egypts millionaires.Having made a fortune buying sharesIn pyramids.Potiphar had made a huge pile.Owned a large percentage of the Nile.Meant that he could really live in styleAnd he did.Joseph was an uniportantSlave who found he liked his master,Consequently worked much harder,Even with devotion.Potiphar could see that JosephWas a cut above the averageMade him leader of the household,Maximum promotion.Potiphar was cool and so fine,But his wife would never tow the line.It's all there in chapter thirty-nine ofGenesis.She was beautiful but evil.Saw a lot of men against his will.He would have to tell herThat she still was his.Joseph's looks and handsome figureHad attracted her attentionEv'ry 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 shekelsIn his den below the bedroomWhen he heard a mighty rumpusClattering above him.Suddenly he knew his richesCouldn't buy him what he wantedGold would never make him happyIf she didn't love him.Letting out a mighty roar,Potiphar burst through the door:Joseph, I'll see you rot in jail.The thing you have done are beyond the pale.Poor, poor Joseph, locked up in a cell.Things aren't going well, hey,Locked up in a cell.poor poor josephlocked up in a cellthings aren't going well,hey,locked up in a celllocked upin a cell
