  • Joseph was taken to Egypt in chains and sold
    Where he was bought by a captain named Potiphar
    Potiphar had very few cares
    He was one of Egypt's millionaires
    Having made a fortune buying shares in pyramids
    Potiphar had made a huge pile
    Owned a large percentage of the Nile
    Meant that he could really live in style, and he did
    Joseph was an unimportant slave who found he liked his master
    Consequently worked much harder, even with devotion
    Potiphar could see that Joseph was a cut above the av'rage,
    Made him leader of his household, maximum promotion
    Potiphar was cool and so fine,
    but his wife would never toe the line
    It's all there in chapter thirtynine of genesis
    She was beautiful but evil,
    saw a lot of men against his will
    He would have to tell her that she still was his
    Joseph's looks and handsome figure had attracted her attention
    Every morning she would beckon: "Come and lie with me, love"
    Joseph wanted to resist her till one day she proved too eager
    Joseph cried in vain: "Please stop! I don't believe in free love!"
    Potiphar was counting shequels in his den below the bedroom
    When he heard a mighty rumpous clattering above him
    Suddenly he knew his riches couldn't buy him what he wanted
    Gold would never make him happy, if she didn't love him!
    Letting out a mighty roar, Potiphar burst through the door
    "Joseph I'll see you rot in jail,
    the things you have done are beyond the pale!"
    Poor, poor Joseph locked up in a cell
    Things ain't going well, hey, locked up in a cell
    Poor, poor Joseph locked up in a cell
    Things ain't going well, hey, locked up in a cell
    Locked up in a cell
