Joseph Musical Stone The Crows Lyrics

Stone The Crows Lyrics

Erzählerin:  

 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 us through this crisis –  

 You shall be my number two  

  

 Erzählerin & Frauen:  

 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 –  

 Pharaoh’s number two  

 Joseph –  

 Egypt looks to you  

  

 Joseph & Erzählerin & Frauen:  

 Joseph –  

 Pharaoh’s number two  

 Joseph –  

 Egypt looks to you  

  

 Erzählerin & Frauen:  

 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 hit  

  

 Frauen:  

 Joseph how can we ever say  

 All that we want to about you  

 We're so glad that you came our way  

 We would habe 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  

  

 Frauen:  

 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 bow we’re partnership  

 It’s just a piece of cake  

  

 Frauen:  

 Greatest man since Noah  

 Only goes to shoah  

  

 Joseph:  

 Anyone from anywhere can make it  

 If they get a lucky break  

  

 Erzählerin & Frauen & Joseph:  

 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?
