Lyrics: Yes
 
Joseph was taken to Egypt in chains and sold
Where he was bought by a captain named by Potiphar

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 I 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
Made him leader of his household
Maximum promotion

Potiphar was cool and so fine

But my wife would never toe the line

It's all there in chapter thirty-nine
Of Genesis

She was beautiful but
Evil
Saw a lot of men against his will
He would have to tell he 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
 
INTERLUDE

Potiphar was counting sheckels
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
Potiphar burst through the door

Joseph, I'll see you rot in jail
The things that you have done are beyond the pale

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
