Song Of The King Lyrics by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice

Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat - Original Soundtrack Album (Original Cast Recording)

1999

[Pharaoh]
Pharaoh is in the building!
Well, I was wandering along by the banks of the river
When seven fat cows came out of the Nile, uh-huh, oh yeah
And right behind these fine healthy animals
Came seven other cows that were skinny and vile, uh-huh
And then the thin cows ate the fat cows
Which I thought would do them good, uh-huh, oh yeah
But it didn't make 'em fatter
Like I thought a monster supper should, oh no
Well, the thin cows were as thin
As they had еver, ever, еver been
Well, this dream has got me baffled
Hey, Joseph, what does it mean?
Well, now you know that kings ain't stupid
But I don't have a clue
Oh don't you be cruel, Joseph
Help me now, I beg of you
I was standing doing nothing in a field out of town
When I saw seven beautiful ears of corn, uh-huh, oh yeah
They were ripe, they were golden, But you've guessed it
Right behind them there were seven other ears
That were tattered and torn, uh-huh
Then the bad corn ate the good corn, man
They came up from behind, yes, they did
Now, Joseph, here's the punch line
It's really gonna blow your mind, flip your lid
Because the bad corn was as bad
As it had ever, ever, ever, ever been
Well, this dream has got me all shook up
Treat me nice and tell me what it means
[Joseph]
Well, I understand a bit about the corn
But I'm not quite sure about the cows
So, I was wondering
If you could just give it to me one more time
Mr. Pharaoh man, please
[Pharaoh]
Let me show you how we Rock 'N' Roll in Egypt
I was standing doing nothing in a field out of town
When I saw seven beautiful ears of corn, uh-huh, oh yeah
They were ripe, they were golden, But you've guessed it
Right behind them there were seven other ears
That were tattered and torn, uh-huh
And tThen the bad corn ate the good corn, man
They came up from behind, yes, they did
Now, Joseph, here's the punch line
It's really gonna blow your mind
This is gonna flip your lid
Because the bad corn was as bad
As it had ever, ever, ever, ever been
Well, this dream has got me all shook up
Treat me nice and tell me what it means
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, Joseph
Won't you tell poor old Pharaoh
What does this crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy dream mean?
Oh yeah
