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 average

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 39 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 shekels

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 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
