(narrarator)
Potiphar had very few cares
he was one of Egypt's millionares
having made a fortune buying shares in pyramids
Potiphar had made a huge pile
owned a large percentage of the Nile
which meant that he could really live in style
and he did
(potiphar)
oh i did
(narrarator)
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 soo fine
but his wife would never toe the line
its 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
(potiphar)
you're mine
(narrarator)
Joseph's looks and handsome figure had attracted her attention
every morning she would beckon
(potiphar's wife)
come and lie with me love
(
narrarator)
joseph wanted to resist her
'til one day she proved too eager
Joseph cried in vain
(joseph)
please stop i dont believe in free love
(narrarator)
potiphar was counting shekels in his den below the bedroom
when he heard a mighty rumpus clattering above him
suddenly he knew his riches couldnt buy him what he wanted
Gold would never make him happy if she didnt love
letting out a mighty roar
potiphar burst through the door
(potiphar)
joseph i'll see you rot in jail
the things you have done are beyond the pail
(narrarator)
poor poor joseph
locked up in a cell
things arent going well hey
locked up in a cell...
