Potiphar

Narrator


Joseph was taken to Egypt in chains and sold,
Where he was bought by a captain named by Potiphar
Narrator & Male Ensemble


Potiphar had very few cares
He was one of Egypt millionaires
Having made a fortune buying shares in
Potiphar


Pyramids
Narrator & Male Ensemble


Potiphar had made a huge pile
Owned a large percentage of the Nile
Potiphar


Meant that I could really live in style
Narrator & Male Ensemble


And he did
Narrator


Joseph was an unimportant
Slave who found he liked his master
Consequently worked much harder
Even with devotion
Potiphar could see tha Joseph
Was a cut above the average
Made him leader of his household
Maximum promotion


Narrator & Male Ensemble


Potiphar was cool and so fine
Potiphar


But my wife would never toe the line
Narrator & Male Ensemble


It's all there in chapter thirty-nine
Of Genesis
She was beautiful but


Mrs. Potiphar


Evil
Narrator & Male Ensemble


Saw a lot of men against his will
He could have to tell he 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 that 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
Locked up in a cell
