Stone the Crows

Pharaoh said, "We'll 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 found a job for you
You shall lead us through this crisis, you shall be my number two
" Pharaoh told his guards to fetch a chisel from the local store
Where upon 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 were perfect just as Joseph said
Joseph saw that food was gathered, ready for all the years ahead
Seven years of famine followed, Egypt did not mind a bit
The first recorded rationing in history was a hit
Joseph how can we ever say, all that we want to about you?
We're so glad that you came our way
We should have perished without you
Joseph, we are the perfect team
Old buddies now, that's you and me
I was wise to have chosen you
You'd be wise to agree
Joseph how can we ever say, all that we want to about you?
We're so glad that you came our way
We should have perished without you
We were in a jam, would have baffled Abraham
But now we're a partnership, it's just a piece of cake
Greatest man since Noah, only goes to show-ah
Anyone from anywhere can make it if they get a lucky break
This could be a happy ending, perfect place to stop the show
Joseph after all has thought about as far as he can go
But I'm sure that Jacob and his other sons have crossed your mind
How has famine hit the family Joseph left behind?
