Andrew Lloyd Webber - Potiphar Lyrics
Narrator Joseph was taken to Egypt in chains and sold Where he was bought by a captain named Potiphar Narrator & MM Potiphar had very few cares He was one of Egypt's millionaires Having made a fortune buying shares in Potiphar Pyramids Narrator & MM Potiphar had made a huge pile Owned a large percentage of the Nile Potiphar Meant that I could really live in style Narrator & MM And he did Narrator Joseph was an unimportant Slave who found he liked his master Consequently worked much harder Even with devotion Poitphar could see that Joseph Was a cut above the average Made him leader of his household Maximum promotion Narrator & MM Potiphar was cool and so fine Potiphar But my wife would never toe the line Narrator & MM It's all there in chapter thirty-nine Of Genesis She was beautiful but Mrs. Potiphar Evil Narrator & MM Saw a lot of men against his will He would have to tell her that she still Was his Narrator Joseph's looks and handsome figure Had attracted her attention Every morning she would beckon Mrs. Potiphar Come and lie with me, love Narrator Joseph wanted to resist her 'Till one day she proved too eager Joseph cried in vain Joseph Please stop I don't believe in free love Narrator Potiphar was counting sheckels In his den below the bedroom When he heard a mighty rumpus 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 Narrator, Ensemble & Children Letting out a mighty roar Potiphar burst through the door Potiphar Joseph, I'll see you rot in jail The things you have done are beyond the pale Narrator, Ensemble & Children 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
