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

Owned a large percentage of the Nile

Meant that he could really live in style, and he did

Joseph was an unimportant slave who found he liked his master

Consequently worked much harder, even with devotion

Potiphar could see that Joseph was a cut above the av'rage,

Made him leader of his household, maximum promotion

Potiphar was cool and so fine,

but his wife would never toe the line

It's all there in chapter thirtynine of genesis

She was beautiful but evil,

saw a lot of men against his will

He would have to tell her that she still was his

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 free love!"

Potiphar was counting shequels in his den below the bedroom

When he heard a mighty rumpous 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 burst 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
