Pharaoh's Dreams Explained

Andrew Lloyd Webber · Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat [1968]

[Joseph]

Seven years of bumper crops are on their way

Years of plenty endless wheat and tons of hay

Your farms will boom

There won't be room

To store the surplus food you grow



After that, the future doesn't look so bright

Egypt's luck will change completely over night

And famine's hand will stalk the land

With food an all-time low



Noble king, there is no doubt

What your dreams are all about

All these things you saw in your pajamas

Are a long range forecast for your farmers



And I'm sure it's crossed your mind

What it is you have to find

Find a man to lead you through the famine

With a flair for economic planning



But who this man could be

I just don't know

Who this man could be

I just don't know

Who this man could be

I just don't know...
