Stone The Crows

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

Narrator:

Pharoah said



Pharoah:

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



Narrator:

Pharoah 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 slpended things

A chariot of gold, a float,

A medal, and some signet rings



Narrator:

Joseph (Joseph)

Pharoah's number two (Pharoah's number two)

Jospeh (Joseph)

Egypt looks to you (Egypt looks to you)

Joseph (Joseph)

Pharoah's number two (Pharoah's number two)

Jospeh (Joseph)

Egypt looks to you (Egypt looks to you)

Jospeh



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 rationong

In history was a hit



Girls (Brooklyn style):

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



Pharoah:

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



Girls (Brooklyn Style):

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



Pharoah:

We were in a jam

Would have baffled Abraham

But now we're a partnership

It's just a piece of cake



Girls (Brooklyn Style):

Greatest man since Noah

Only goes to show ya



Joseph:

Anyone fom anywhere

Can make it

If they get a lucky break



Narrator:

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
