Grovel Grovel

[JOSEPH]

I dreamed that in the fields one day

The corn gave me a sign

Your eleven sheaves of corn

All turned and bowed to mine

I dreamed I saw eleven stars

The sun and moon and sky

Bowing down before my star

-- And now I realize why

How do I know where you come from?

You could be spies

Telling me that you are hungry

-- That could be lies

How do I know who you are?

Why do you think I should help you?

Would you help me?

[BROTHERS]

Yes!

[JOSEPH]

Why on earth should I believe you?

I've no guarantee

[BROTHERS]

Grovel, grovel, cringe

Bow, stoop, fall

Worship, worship, beg

Kneel, sponge, crawl

We are just eleven brothers

Good men and true

Though we know we count for nothing when up next to you

Honesty's our middle name

Life is slowly ebbing from us, hope's almost gone

It's getting very hard to see us from sideways on

Grovel, grovel, cringe

Bow, stoop, fall

Worship, worship, beg

Kneel, sponge, crawl

[JOSEPH]

I rather like the way you're talking

Astute and sincere

Suddenly your tragic story gets me right here

[BROTHERS]

This is what we hoped you'd say

[JOSEPH]

All this tugging at my heartstrings seems quite justified

I shall give you what you came for and lots more beside

[BROTHERS]

Thank you, thank you

Cringe, bow, stoop, fall

Worship, worship, beg

Kneel, sponge, crawl

Thank you, thank you

Cringe, bow, stoop, fall

Worship, worship, beg

Kneel, sponge, crawl

[NARRATOR]

Joseph handed them sackloads of food

And they grovelled with base gratitude

[LADIES]

Then, unseen, Joseph nipped out around the back

And planted a cup in young Benjamin's sack

[NARRATOR]

When the brothers were ready to go

Joseph turned to them all with a terrible stare and said

[JOSEPH AND LADIES]

No! No! No! No! No!
