Bought by the Egyptians |
| Now the Amazing Technicolor Coat’s a fantastic Broadway show |
| If a movie’s made (Oy vey oh) |
| It’d prob’ly sound quite phenomenal |
| All because a man’s brothers sold him, got the money and off they went |
| Was a cocky child (Oy vey oh) |
| But that still seems inconsiderate |
| Going twice for a marked-up price, say |
| (Way oy vey oy vey oy vey oh) |
| Bought by the Egyptians |
| A bondslave was his fate there |
| Trained and then he found entry jobs galore |
| Paid lotsa dues (Oy vey oh) |
| But kept his dreams and he praised the Lord |
| All the girls dig Joseph’s good |
| looks he’s quite the hunk and a better man |
| But because of these (Oy vey oh) |
| His boss’s wife canned him in the end |
| Throw that slave in the darkest place, hey |
| (Way oy vey oy vey oy vey oh) |
| Caught by the Egyptians |
| LEAD |
| (Whistle) |
| While the Pharaoh’s asleep |
| Dreams go bad, he gets alarmed, and he tells his staff |
| I’ve got to know (Oy vey oh) |
| Just why did those scrawny cattle attack? |
| If you want the guy for the job he’s hangin' out in the dungeon block |
| Yes, bring him hence (Oy vey oh) |
| To swiftly come to sit down and talk |
| All this happened in Egypt and yet their smartest boy was an immigrant |
| That guy named Joe (Oy vey oh) |
| He taught the bright, wise Egyptians |
| So they got him a real nice job with |
| Pharaoh, Pharaoh, Pharaoh, Pharaoh |
| Sought by the Egyptians |
| Sought by the Egyptians |
