Stone the Crows lyrics

[NARRATOR]

Pharaoh said:

[PHAROH]

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]

Pharaoh told his guards

To fetch a chisel from 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 (Joseph)

Pharaoh's number two (Pharaoh's number two)

Joseph (Joseph)

Egypt looks to you (Egypt looks to you)

Joseph (Joseph)

Pharaoh's number two (Pharaoh's number two)

Joseph (Joseph)

Egypt looks to you (Egypt looks to you)

Joseph!

Seven summers on the trot

Went perfect just as Joseph said

Joseph saw that food was gathered

Ready for the years ahead

Seven years of famine followed

Egypt did not mind a bit

The first recorded rationing in history was a hit

[LADIES]

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'd be wise to agree

[LADIES]

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

[LADIES]

Greatest man since Noah

Only goes to show ya

[JOSEPH]

Anyone from anywhere can make it

If they get a lucky break

[NARRATOR]

This could be a happy ending

Perfect place to stop the show

Joseph after all has got about as far as he could go

But I'm sure that Jacob

And his other sons have crossed your mind

How did famine hit the family Joseph left behind?
