  • Narrator
  • Nest day, far from home
  • The brothers planned the repulsive crime
  • Brothers
  • Let us grab him now
  • Do him in, while we've got the time
  • Narrator
  • This they did and made the most of it
  • Tore his coat and flung him in a pit
  • Brothers
  • Let us leave him here
  • All alone and he's bound to die
  • Narrator
  • Then some Ishmaelites
  • A hairy crew came riding by
  • In a flash the brothers changed their plan
  • Brothers
  • We need cash. Let's sell him if we can
  • Narrator, Female Ensemble & Children
  • Poor, poor Joseph, what'cha gonna do?
  • Things look bad for you, hey, what'cha gonna do?
  • Poor, poor Joseph, what'cha gonna do?
  • Things look bad for you, hey, what'cha gonna do?
  • Brothers
  • Could you use a slave
  • You hairy bunch of Ishmaelites
  • Young, strong, well-behaved
  • Going cheap, and he reads and writes
  • Narrator
  • In a trice the dirty deal was done
  • Silver coins for Jacob's favorite son
  • Then the Ishmaelites
  • Galloped off with the slave in tow
  • Off to Egypt where
  • Joseph was not keen to go
  • It wouldn't be a picnic he could tell
  • Joseph
  • And I don't speak Egyptian very well
  • Narrator
  • Joseph's brothers tore
  • His precious multi-colored coat
  • Having ripped it up
  • They next attacked a passing goat
  • Soon the wretched creature was no more
  • They dipped his coat in blood and guts and gore
  • Narrator, Ensemble & Children
  • Oh now brothers, how low can you stoop?
  • You make a sordid group, hey, how low can you stoop?
  • Poor, poor Joseph, sold to be a slave
  • Situation's grave, hey, sold to be a slave
  • Sold to be a slave
