The Brothers Come To Egypt / Grovel, Grovel

[00:00.00] So!
[00:01.17] Back in Canaan the future looked rough
[00:04.69] Jacob's family were finding it tough
[00:08.47] For the famine has caught us unprepared
[00:12.19] We are thin, we are ill
[00:13.94] We are getting scared
[00:15.70] It's enough to make anyone weep
[00:19.31] We are down to our very last sheep
[00:23.09] We will starve if we hang around here
[00:26.61] But in Egypt there's food going spare
[00:30.32] They've got corn
[00:31.10] They've got meat
[00:32.13] They've got fruit and drinks
[00:33.95] And if we have the time
[00:36.00] We could see the Sphinx!
[00:37.42] So they finally decided to go (here we go)
[00:41.02] Off to Egypt to see brother Jo!
[00:45.72]
[00:50.15] So they all lay before (doo-doo-ah)
[00:52.22] Joseph's feet (feet, feet, feet)
[00:53.96] Mighty prince, give us (doo-doo-ah)
[00:55.30] Something to eat (eat, eat, eat)
[00:57.39] Joseph found it a strain (doo-doo-bah)
[00:59.45] Not to laugh because (ha-ha-ha-ha, ha!)
[01:01.28] Not a brother among them (oh, brother)
[01:03.29] Knew who he was (who he was)
[01:04.95] I shall now take them all for a ride
[01:08.54] After all they have tried fratricide
[01:14.85] I dreamed that in the fields one day
[01:18.34] The corn gave me sign
[01:22.34] Your eleven sheaves of corn
[01:25.78] All turned and bowed to mine
[01:29.24] I dreamed I saw eleven stars
[01:32.71] The sun, the moon and sky
[01:36.67] Bowing down before my star
[01:39.92] And now I realise why
[01:44.22] How do I know where you came from?
[01:46.64] You could be spies
[01:48.96] Telling me that you are hungry
[01:51.27] That could be lies
[01:54.09] How do I know who you are?
[01:58.28] Why do you think I should help you?
[02:00.62] Would you help me? (Yes!)
[02:02.92] Why on earth should I believe you?
[02:04.98] I've no guarantee!
[02:06.48] Grovel, grovel
[02:08.80] Cringe, bow, stoop, fall
[02:11.10] Worship, worship
[02:13.46] Beg, kneel, sponge, crawl
[02:15.73] Grovel, grovel (grovel, grovel)
[02:18.06] Cringe, bow, stoop, fall (grovel, grovel)
[02:20.63] Worship, worship (grovel, grovel)
[02:22.75] Beg, kneel, sponge, crawl (grovel, grovel)
[02:25.96] We are just eleven brothers
[02:28.29] Good men and true
[02:30.57] Though we know we count for nothing
[02:32.77] When up next to you
[02:35.67] Honesty's our middle name
[02:39.86] Life is slowly ebbing from us
[02:42.12] Hope's almost gone
[02:44.41] It's getting very hard to see us
[02:46.85] From sideways on
[02:48.44] Grovel, grovel (grovel, grovel)
[02:50.38] Cringe, bow, stoop, fall (grovel, grovel)
[02:52.75] Worship, worship (grovel, grovel)
[02:55.09] Beg, kneel, sponge, crawl (grovel, grovel)
[02:58.52] I rather like the way you're talking
[03:00.68] Astute and sincere
[03:03.03] Suddenly your tragic story
[03:05.18] It gets me right here
[03:08.35] This is what we hoped he'd say
[03:12.53] All this tugging at my heartstrings
[03:14.47] Seems quite justified
[03:17.17] I shall give you what you came for
[03:19.25] And lots more beside
[03:21.06] Grovel, grovel (thank you, thank you)
[03:22.86] Grovel, grovel (cringe, bow, stoop, fall)
[03:26.35] Grovel, grovel (worship, worship)
[03:27.96] Grovel, grovel (beg, kneel, sponge, crawl)
[03:29.72] Thank you, thank you (grovel, grovel)
[03:32.19] Cringe, bow, stoop, fall (grovel, grovel)
[03:34.33] Worship, worship (grovel, grovel)
[03:36.95] Beg, kneel, sponge (grovel)
[03:37.94] Crawl...
[03:41.47]
[03:44.68] Joseph handed them sack-loads of food
[03:50.73] And they grovelled with base gratitude
[03:58.32] Then, unseen, Joseph nipped (yum, yum, yum)
[04:01.14] Out around the back (yum, yum, yum, yum)
[04:04.80] And planted a cup in (yum, yum, yum, yum)
[04:08.08] Young Benjamin's sack (yum, yum, yum)
[04:11.27] When the brothers were ready to go
[04:14.52] Joseph turned to them all
[04:16.43] With a terrible stare and said
[04:18.52] No!
[04:20.21] No!
[04:21.89] No! No! No!
[04:23.91]
