Poor, Poor Joseph - Original Cast

Written by：Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice

Next day far from home

The brothers planned the repulsive crime

Let us grab him now

Do him in while we've got the time

This they did and made the most of it

Tore his coat and flung him in a pit

Let us leave him here

All alone and he's bound to die

When some Ishmaelites

A hairy crew came riding by

In a flash the brothers changed their plan

We need cash let's sell him if we can

Poor poor Joseph what'cha gonna do

Things look bad for you hey what'cha gonna do

Poor poor Joseph what'cha gonna do

Things look bad for you hey what'cha gonna do

Could you use a slave

You hairy bunch of Ishmaelites

Young strong well behaved

Going cheap and he reads and writes

In a trice the dirty deal was done

Silver coins for Jacob's favourite son

Then the Ishmaelites

Galloped off with a slave in tow

Off to Egypt where Joseph was not keen to go

It wouldn't be a picnic he could tell

And I don't speak Egyptian very well

Joseph's brothers tore

His precious multi coloured coat

Having ripped it up

They next attacked a passing goat

Soon the wretched creature was no more

They dipped his coat in blood and guts and gore

Oh now brothers how low can you stoop

You make a sordid group hey how low can you stoop

Poor poor Joseph sold to be a slave

Situation's grave hey sold to be a slave
