Andrew Lloyd Webber - Stone The Crows Lyrics
Narrator Pharaoh said Pharaoh 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 Narrator & Female Ensemble Pharaoh told his guards to fetch A chisel form the local store Whereupon he ordered them To cut the chains that Joseph wore Joseph got a royal pardon And a host of splendid things A chariot of gold, a cloak A medal and some signet rings Joseph- Pharaoh's number two Joseph- Egypt looks to you Joseph, Narrator & Female Ensemble Joseph- Pharaoh's number two Joseph- Egypt looks to you Narrator & Female Ensemble Seven summers on the trot Were perfect just as Joseph said Joseph saw that food was gathered Ready for the years ahead Seven years of famine followed Egypt didn't mind a bit The first recorded rationing In history was a hit Female Ensemble 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 Pharaoh Joseph we are the perfect team Old buddies, that's you and me I was wise to have chosen you You'll be wise to agree Female Ensemble 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 Pharaoh We were in a jam Would have baffled Abraham But now we're a partnership It's just a piece of cake Female Ensemble Greatest man since Noah Only goes to shoah Joseph Anyone from anywhere can make it If they get a lucky break Narrator & Female Ensemble This could be a happy ending Perfect place to stop the show Joseph after all has gone About as far as he can go But I'm sure that Jacob and His other sons have crossed your mind How had famine hit the family Joseph left behind
