《The Brothers Came to Egypt-Grovel， Grovel》歌词

[00:00:00] The Brothers Came to Egypt-Grovel, Grovel - Jimmy Serino Company

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

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

[00:00:08] For the famine has caught us unprepared

[00:00:11] We are thin

[00:00:12] We are ill

[00:00:13] 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] But in Egypt there's food going spare

[00:00:29] They've got corn

[00:00:30] They've got meat

[00:00:31] They've got fruit and drinks

[00:00:33] And if we have the time

[00:00:35] We could see the Sphinx

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

[00:00:40] Off to Egypt to see brother Jo

[00:00:49] So they all lay before

[00:00:51] Joseph's feet

[00:00:53] Mighty prince give us something to eat

[00:00:57] Joseph found it a strain

[00:00:58] Not to laugh because

[00:01:00] Not a brother among them

[00:01:02] Knew who he was

[00:01:04] I shall now take them all for a ride

[00:01:08] After all they have tried fratricide

[00:01:14] I dreamed that in the fields one day

[00:01:17] The corn gave me sign

[00:01:21] Your eleven sheaves of corn

[00:01:24] All turned and bowed to mine

[00:01:28] I dreamed I saw eleven stars

[00:01:31] The sun the moon and sky

[00:01:35] Bowing down before my star

[00:01:39] And now I realise why

[00:01:43] How do I know where you came from

[00:01:45] You could be spies

[00:01:47] Telling me that you are hungry -

[00:01:50] That could be lies

[00:01:52] How do I know who you are

[00:01:57] Why do you think I should help you

[00:01:59] Would you help me

[00:02:01] Why on earth should I believe you

[00:02:03] I've no guarantee

[00:02:05] Grovel grovel cringe bow

[00:02:08] Stoop fall

[00:02:09] Worship worship beg kneel

[00:02:12] Sponge crawl

[00:02:14] Grovel grovel cringe bow

[00:02:17] Stoop fall

[00:02:19] Worship worship beg kneel

[00:02:21] Sponge crawl

[00:02:24] We are just eleven brothers

[00:02:27] Good men and true

[00:02:29] Though we know we count for nothing

[00:02:31] When up next to you

[00:02:34] Honesty's are middle name

[00:02:38] Life is slowly ebbing from us

[00:02:40] Hope's almost gone

[00:02:43] It's getting very hard to see us

[00:02:45] From sideways on

[00:02:47] Grovel grovel cringe bow

[00:02:49] Stoop fall

[00:02:51] Worship worship beg kneel

[00:02:54] Sponge crawl

[00:02:57] I rather like the way you're talking

[00:02:59] Astute and sincere

[00:03:01] Suddenly your tragic story

[00:03:03] It gets me right here

[00:03:06] This is what we hoped he'd say

[00:03:10] All this tugging at my heartstrings

[00:03:12] Seems quite justified

[00:03:15] I shall give you what you came for

[00:03:17] And lots more beside

[00:03:19] Grovel grovel cringe bow

[00:03:21] Stoop fall

[00:03:23] Worship worship beg kneel

[00:03:26] Sponge crawl

[00:03:28] Thank you thank you cringe

[00:03:30] Bow stoop fall

[00:03:32] Worship worship beg kneel

[00:03:35] Sponge crawl

[00:03:43] Joseph handed them sackloads of food

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

[00:03:56] Then unseen Joseph out

[00:03:59] Around the back

[00:04:02] And planted a cup

[00:04:05] In young Benjamin's sack
