Pharaoh said
Well, stone the crows
This Joseph is a clever kid
Who'd have thought that 14 cows
Could mean the things

He said, they did
Joseph, you must help me further
I have got a job for you
You will help my through this crisis
You shall be my number two

Pharaoh told his guards
To fetch a chisel from the local store
Whereupon he ordered them
To cut the chains that Joseph wore

Joseph got a royal pardon
And a host of splendid things
A chariot of gold, a float
A medal, and some signet rings

Joseph, Pharaoh's number two
(Joseph, Pharaoh's number two)
Joseph, Egypt looks to you
(Joseph, Egypt looks to you)

Joseph, Pharaoh's number two
(Joseph, Pharaoh's number two)
Joseph, Egypt looks to you
(Joseph, Egypt looks to you)
Joseph

Seven summers on the trot
Went perfect just as Joseph said
Joseph saw that food was gathered
Ready for the years ahead

Seven years of famine followed
Egypt did not mind a bit
The recorded rationing
In history was a hit

Joseph, how can we ever say
All that we want to, about you?
We're so glad that you came our way
We would have perished without you

Joseph, we are the perfect team
Old buddies that's you and me
I was wise to have chosen you
You would be wise to agree

Joseph, how can we ever say
All that we want to, about you?
We're so glad that you came our way
We would have perished without you

We were in a jam
Would have baffled Abraham
But now we're a partnership
It's just a piece of cake

Greatest man since Noah
Only goes to show ya
Anyone from anywhere can make it
If they get a lucky break

This could be a happy ending
Perfect place to stop the show
Joseph after all has got
About as far as he could go

But I'm sure that Jacob
And his other sons have crossed your mind
How the famine hit the family
Joseph left behind
