Текст песни Stone The Crows - Andrew Lloyd Webber , Gary Bond , Peter Reeves

Pharaoh said, "Well, stone the crows, this Joseph is a clever kid
Who'd have thought that fourteen cows
Could mean the things he says they did?
Joseph, you must help me further, I have found a job for you
You may lead us through this crisis, you may be my number two"
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 of metal and some signet rings

Joseph (Joseph), Pharaoh's number two
Joseph (Joseph), Egypt looks to you

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 did not mind a bit
The first recorded rationing in history was a hit

Joseph, how can we ever say
All we want to about you?
We're so glad that you came our way
We would have perished without you

"Hey, hey, Joseph, we are the perfect team
Old buddies, that's you and me
I was wise to have chosen you
And you'll be wise to agree"
And I know you'll be happy

Joseph, how can we ever say
All we want to about you?
We're so glad that you came our way
We would have perished without you

Don't you know that we were in a jam?
Would have baffled Abraham
But now we're a partnership
That's just a piece of cake
The greatest man since Noah, only goes to show-a
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 got 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?
