Song of the King (From "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat")

Song of the King - Original Cast Recording/Musical Cast Recording/Original Cast

Well I was wandering along

By the banks of the river

When seven fat cows

Came up out of the nile uh uh

And right behind these fine healthy animals came

Seven other cows

Skinny and vile uh huh

Oh yeah

Well the thin cows ate the fat cows which I

Thought would do them good uh huh

Oh yeah

But it didn't make them fatter like such

A monster supper should

Oh yeah

Well the thin cows were as thin

As they had ever

Ever ever been

Well this dream has got me baffled

Hey joseph won't you tell me what it means

Well you know that kings ain't stupid

But I don't have a clue

So don't be cruel Joseph

Help me I beg of you

Well I was standing doing

Nothing in a field out of town

When I saw seven beautiful

Ears of corn uh uh

They were ripe they were golden and

You've guessed it right behind them came seven other ears

Tattered and torn uh huh

Oh yeah

Well the bad corn ate the good corn

They came up from behind yes they did

Oh no

Now Joseph here's the punch line

It's really gonna blow your mind

Well the bad corn was as bad

As it had ever

Ever ever been

Well this dream has got me all shook up

Treat me nice and tell me what it means

Hey hey hey Joseph

Won't you tell poor old pharaoh

What does this crazy

Dream the greener mean

Oh yeah
