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 found a job for you
You shall lead us through this crisis — you shall be my number two
NARRATOR:
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
Seven summers on the trot were perfect just as Joseph said
