1993 Broadway revival Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat the Musical - Potiphar Lyrics
NARRATOR: Joseph was taken to Egypt in chains and sold, Where he was bought by a captain named by Potiphar
NARRATOR & MALE ENSEMBLE: Potiphar had very few cares He was one of Egypt millionaires Having made a fortune buying shares in
POTIPHAR: Pyramids
NARRATOR & MALE ENSEMBLE: Potiphar had made a huge pile Owned a large percentage of the Nile
POTIPHAR: Meant that I could really live in style
NARRATOR & MALE ENSEMBLE: And he did
NARRATOR: Joseph was an unimportant Slave who found he liked his master Consequently worked much harder Even with devotion Potiphar could see tha Joseph Was a cut above the average Made him leader of his household Maximum promotion
NARRATOR & MALE ENSEMBLE: Potiphar was cool and so fine
POTIPHAR: But my wife would never toe the line
NARRATOR & MALE ENSEMBLE: It's all there in chapter thirty-nine Of Genesis She was beautiful but
MRS. POTIPHAR: Evil
NARRATOR & ENSEMBLE: Saw a lot of men against his will He would have to tell her that she still was his Was his
NARRATOR: Joseph's looks and handsome figure Had attracted her attention Every morning she would beckon
MRS. POTIPHAR: Come and lie with me love
NARRATOR: Joseph wanted to resist her, Till one day she proved too eager Joseph cried in vain
JOSEPH: Please stop I don't believe in free love
NARRATOR: 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
NARRATOR, ENSEMBLE & CHILDREN: Letting out a mighty roar Potiphar burst through the door
POTIPHAR: Joseph, I'll see you rot in jail The things that you have done are beyond the pale
NARRATOR, ENSEMBLE & CHILDREN: 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
