Potiphar

Joseph was taken in chains and sold
Where he was bought by a captain named Potiphar

Potiphar have very few heirs
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
Ment that I could really live in style
And he did
And I 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 others
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 ninety-nine
Of Genesis (Don't believe everything you read dear)
She was beautiful but
Evil
Saw a lot of men against his will
He would have to tell her that she still was his
You're 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
Untill one day she proved to eager
Joseph cried in vain
Please stop I don't believe in free love
Pity

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
Nor would never make him happy
If she didn't love him

Then he yelled a mighty roar (aaaarrrrrhhh)
Potiphar burst through the door
Joseph I will 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
