Lyrics Potiphar - Andrew Lloyd Webber , Gary Bond , Peter Reeves

Potiphar had very few cares
He was one of Egypt's millionaires
Having made a fortune buying shares in pyramids
Potiphar had made a huge pile
Owned a large percentage of the Nile
Meant that he could really live in style, and he did

Joseph was an unimportant slave
Who found he liked his master
Consequently worked much harder
Even with devotion
Potiphar could see that Joseph was a cut
Above the average major leader
Of the house of maximum promotion

Potiphar was cool and so fine
But his wife would never toe the line
It's all there in chapter 39 of Genesis
She was beautiful but evil
Saw a lot of men against his will
He would have to tell her that she still was his

Joseph's looks and handsome figure
Had attracted her attention
Every morning she would beckon
"Come and lie with me, love"
Joseph wanted to resist her
Till one day she proved too eager
Joseph cried in vain
"Please stop, I don't believe in free love"

Potiphar was counting shekels
In his den below the bedroom
When he heard a mighty rumpus
Clattering above him
Suddenly he knew his riches couldn't buy him
What he wanted, gold would never make him happy
If she didn't love him

Letting out a mighty roar (Roar!)
Potiphar burst through the door

Joseph, I'll see you rot in jail
The things you have done are beyond the pale
Joseph's locked up in a cell
Things ain't going well, hey
Locked up in a cell
