NARRATOR:



So back in Canaan the future looked rough

Joseph's family were finding it tough



BROTHERS:



For the famine has caught us unprepared

We are thin, we are ill, we are getting scared

It's enough to make anyone weep

We are down to our very last sheep

We will starve if we hang around here

And in Egypt there's food going spare

They've got corn, they've got meat, they've got food and drinks

And if we have the time we could see the Sphinx



NARRATOR:



So they finally decided to go

Off to Egypt to see brother Jo

So they all lay before Joseph's feet



BROTHERS:



Mighty prince, give us something to eat!



NARRATOR:



Joseph found it a strain not to laugh because

Not a brother among them knew who he ws



Joseph:



I shall now take them all for a ride

After all they have tried fratricide
