Webber Andrew Lloyd Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Poor Poor Joseph NARRATOR: Next 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: When 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 CHORUS OF WEEPING MAIDENS: 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 deed was done Silver coins for Jacob's favorite son Then the Ishmaelites galloped off with a slave in tow Off to Egypt where Joseph was not too 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 Oh now brothers, how low can you stoop? You make a sorry group, hey, how low can you stoop? Poor poor Joseph, sold to be a slave Situation's grave, hey, sold to be a slave |
