[00:00:00] So back in Canaan the future looked rough

[00:00:04] Joseph's family were finding it tough

[00:00:07] For the famine has caught us unprepared

[00:00:11] We are thin we are ill we are getting scared

[00:00:15] It's enough to make anyone weep

[00:00:18] We are down to our very last sheep

[00:00:22] We will starve if we hang around here

[00:00:26] And in Egypt there's food going spare

[00:00:30] They've got corn they've got meat they've got food and drinks

[00:00:33] And if we have the time we could see the Sphinx

[00:00:37] So they finally decided to go

[00:00:41] Off to Egypt to see brother Jo

[00:00:45] And they all lay before Joseph's feet

[00:00:48] Mighty prince give us something to eat

[00:00:52] Joseph found it a strain not to laugh because

[00:00:56] Not a brother among them knew who he was

[00:00:59] I shall now take them all for a ride

[00:01:03] After all they have tried fratricide

[00:01:08] I dreamed that in the fields one day the corn gave me a sign

[00:01:16] Your eleven sheaves of corn all turned and bowed to mine

[00:01:23] I dreamed I saw eleven stars the sun and moon and sky

[00:01:31] Bowing down before my star and now I realize why

[00:01:40] How do I know where you come from you could be spies

[00:01:46] Telling me that you are hungry that could be lies

[00:01:53] How do I know who you are

[00:01:58] Why do you think I should help you would you help me

[00:02:04] Why on earth should I believe you I've no guarantee

[00:02:09] Grovel grovel cringe bow stoop fall

[00:02:15] Worship worship beg kneel sponge crawl

[00:02:22] We are just eleven brothers good men and true

[00:02:28] Though we know we count for nothing when up next to you

[00:02:35] Honesty's our middle name

[00:02:40] Life is slowly ebbing from us hope's almost gone

[00:02:46] It's getting very hard to see us from sideways on

[00:02:53] Grovel cringe bow stoop fall

[00:02:57] Worship worship beg kneel sponge crawl

[00:03:04] I rather like the way you're talking astute and sincere

[00:03:10] Suddenly your tragic story gets me right here

[00:03:17] This is what we hoped you'd say

[00:03:22] All this tugging at my heartstrings seems quite justified

[00:03:28] I shall give you what you came for and lots more beside

[00:03:33] Thank you thank you cringe bow stoop fall

[00:03:39] Worship worship beg kneel sponge crawl

[00:03:45] Joseph handed them Sackloads of food

[00:03:49] And they grovelled with base gratitude

[00:03:52] Then unseen Joseph nipped out around the back

[00:03:56] And planted a cup in young Benjamin's sack

[00:04:00] When the brothers were ready to go

[00:04:04] Joseph turned to them all with a terrible stare and said

[00:04:08] No no no no no
