[Narrator]
Joseph was taken to Egypt in chains and sold
Where he was bought by a captain named Potiphar

[Narrator]
Potiphar had very few cares
He was one of Egypt's millionaires
Having made a fortune buying shares in

[Potiphar]
Pyramids

[Narrator]
Potiphar had made a huge pile
Owned a large percentage of the Nile

[Potiphar]
Meant that I could really live in style

[Narrator]
And he did

[Potiphar]
Oh, I did

[Narrator]
Joseph was an unimportant slave who found he liked his master
Consequently worked much harder, even with devotion
Potiphar could see that Josеph was a cut above the av'rage
Madе him leader of his household, maximum promotion
[Narrator]
Potiphar was cool and so fine

[Potiphar]
But my wife would never toe the line

[Narrator & male ensemble]
It's all there in chapter thirty-nine of Genesis
She was beautiful but

[Mrs. Potiphar]
Evil

[Narrator]
Saw a lot of men against his will
He would have to tell her that she still was his

[Potiphar]
You're mine!

[Narrator]
Joseph's looks and handsome figure had attracted her attention
Every morning she would beckon:

[Mrs. Potiphar]
Come and lie with me, love
[Narrator]
Joseph wanted to resist her till one day she proved too eager
Joseph cried in vain:

[Joseph]
Please stop! I don't believe in free love!

[Mrs. Potiphar]
Pity

[Narrator, (Potiphar)]
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 (aah!)
Potiphar burst through the door (aah!)

[Potiphar]
Joseph, I'll see you rot in jail
The things you have done are beyond the pale!

[Narrator]
Poor, poor Joseph locked up in a cell
Things ain't going well, hey, locked up in a cell
Poor, poor Joseph locked up in a cell
Things ain't going well, hey, locked up in a cell

Locked up in a cell
