(Narrator)

Nest day, far from home

The brothers planned the repulsive crime



(Brothers)

Let us grab him now

Do him in, while we've got the time



(Narrator)

This they did and made the most of it

Tore his coat and flung him in a pit



(Brothers)

Let us leave him here

All alone and he's bound to die



(Narrator)

Then some Ishmaelites

A hairy crew came riding by

In a flash the brothers changed their plan



(Brothers)

We need cash. Let's sell him if we can



(Narrator, Female Ensemble
