Stone The Crowes Lyrics

(Narrator)
Pharaoh said

(Pharaoh)
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 you through this crisis
You shall be my number two

(Narrator & Female Ensemble)
Pharaoh told his guards to fetch
A chisel form 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-
Pharaoh's number two
Joseph-
Egypt looks to you

(Joseph, Narrator & Female Ensemble)
Joseph-
Pharaoh's number two
Joseph-
Egypt looks to you

(Narrator & Female Ensemble)
Seven summers on the trot
Were perfect just as joseph said
Joseph saw that food was gathered
Ready for the years ahead
Seven years of famine followed
Egypt didn't mind a bit
The first recorded rationing
In history was a hitJoseph - Stone The Crowes - http://motolyrics.com/joseph/stone-the-crowes-lyrics.html

(Female Ensemble)
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'll be wise to agree

(Female Ensemble)
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

(Female Ensemble)
Greatest man since Noah
Only goes to shoah

(Joseph)
Anyone from anywhere can make it
If they get a lucky break

(Narrator & Female Ensemble)
This could be a happy ending
Perfect place to stop the show
Joseph after all has gone
About as far as he can go

But I'm sure that Jacob and
His other sons have crossed your mind
How had famine hit the family
Joseph left behind?
