Potiphar

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

He owned a large percentage of the nile

Meant that i could really live in style

And he did

Oh i did

Joseph was an unimportant

Slave who found he liked his master

Consequently worked much harder

Even with devotion

Poitphar could see that joseph

Was a cut above the average

Made him leader of his household

Maximum promotion

Potiphar was cool and so fine

But my wife would never toe the line

It's all there in chapter thirty-nine

Of genesis

She was beautiful but

Saw a lot of men against his will

He would have to tell her that she still

Was his

Your mine

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 pretty love

Potiphar was counting sheckels

In his den below the bedroom

When he heard a mighty rumpus

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 ran 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
