The Brothers Come To Egypt / Grovel, Grovel - Andrew Lloyd Webber (安德鲁·劳埃德·韦伯)/Peter Reeves/Gary Bond/Riggs O’Hara
Written by:Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice
Producer:Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice
So back in Canaan the future looked rough
Joseph's family were finding it tough
For the famine has caught us unprepared
We are thin we are ill we are getting scared
It's enough to make anyone weep
We are down to our very last sheep
We will starve if we hang around here
And in Egypt there's food going spare
They've got corn they've got meat they've got food and drinks
And if we have the time we could see the Sphinx
So they finally decided to go
Off to Egypt to see brother Jo
And they all lay before Joseph's feet
Mighty prince give us something to eat
Joseph found it a strain not to laugh because
Not a brother among them knew who he was
I shall now take them all for a ride
After all they have tried fratricide
I dreamed that in the fields one day the corn gave me a sign
Your eleven sheaves of corn all turned and bowed to mine
I dreamed I saw eleven stars the sun and moon and sky
Bowing down before my star and now I realize why
How do I know where you come from you could be spies
Telling me that you are hungry that could be lies
How do I know who you are
Why do you think I should help you would you help me
Why on earth should I believe you I've no guarantee
Grovel grovel cringe bow stoop fall
Worship worship beg kneel sponge crawl
We are just eleven brothers good men and true
Though we know we count for nothing when up next to you
Honesty's our middle name
Life is slowly ebbing from us hope's almost gone
It's getting very hard to see us from sideways on
Grovel cringe bow stoop fall
Worship worship beg kneel sponge crawl
I rather like the way you're talking astute and sincere
Suddenly your tragic story gets me right here
This is what we hoped you'd say
All this tugging at my heartstrings seems quite justified
I shall give you what you came for and lots more beside
Thank you thank you cringe bow stoop fall
Worship worship beg kneel sponge crawl
Joseph handed them Sackloads of food
And they grovelled with base gratitude
Then unseen Joseph nipped out around the back
And planted a cup in young Benjamin's sack
When the brothers were ready to go
Joseph turned to them all with a terrible stare and said
No no no no no
