The Brothers Came To Egypt / Grovel, Grovel
So back in Canaan the future looked rough Jacob's family were finding it tough
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
But in Egypt there's food going spare
They've got corn They've got meat They've got fruit and drinks
And if we have the time We could see the Sphinx
So they finally decided to go Off to Egypt to see brother Joe So they all lay before Joseph's feet
Mighty prince, give us something to eat
Joseph found it a strain Not to laugh because Not a brother among them Knew who he was
I shall now take them all for a ride After all they have tried fratricide
Grovel, Grovel
Joseph
I dreamed that in the fields one day, The corn gave me sign Your eleven sheaves of corn All turned and bowed to mine I dreamed I saw eleven stars, The sun the moon and sky Bowing down before my star, And now I realise why How do I know where you came 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? Why on earth should I believe you? I've no guarantee

Grovel, grovel, cringe, bow, stoop, fall Worship, worship, beg, kneel, sponge, crawl Brothers
We are just eleven brothers, Good men and true Though we know we count for nothing When up next to you Honesty's are middle name Life is slowly ebbing from us, Hope's almost gone It's getting very hard to see us From sideways on Narrator & Brothers
Grovel, grovel, cringe, bow, stoop, fall Worship, worship, beg, kneel, sponge, crawl Jospeh
I rather like the way you're talking, Astute and sincere Suddenly your tragic story It gets me right here Brothers
This is what we hoped he'd say Jospeh
All this tugging at my heartstrings Seems quite justified I shall give you what you came for And lots more beside Narrator & Brothers
Grovel, grovel, cringe, bow, stoop, fall Worship, worship, beg, kneel, sponge, crawl Brothers
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 Female Ensemble
Then, unseen, Joseph out around the back And planted a cup in young Benjamin's sack Narrator
When the brothers were ready to go Jospeh turned to them all With a terrible stare and said Joseph
No No No No No
