Poor, Poor Pharoah; Song Of The King

Guess what? In his bed Pharaoh
Had an uneasy night
He had had a dream that pinned him
To his sheets with fright
No-one knew the meaning of this dream
What to do, whatever could it mean?
Then his butler said.

I know of a bloke in jail
Who is hot on dreams
Could explain old Pharaoh's tale.

Pharaoh said
Well fetch this Joseph man
I need him to help me if he can.

Poor, poor Pharaoh
What'cha gonna do
Dreams are haunting you, hey
What'cha gonna do.

Chained and bound, afraid, alone
Joseph stood before the throne.

My service to Pharaoh has begun
Tell me your problems, mighty one.

SONG OF THE KING

Well I was wandering along by the banks of the river
When seven fat cows came up out of the Nile, uh-huh
And right behind these fine healthy animals came
Seven other cows, skinny and vile, uh-huh.

Well the thin cows ate which I
Thought would do them good, uh-huh
But it didn't make them fatter like such
A monster supper should.

Well the thin cows were as thin
As they had ever, ever, ever been
Well this dream has got me baffled
Hey, Joseph, won't you tell me what it means?

Well you know that kings ain't stupid
But I don't have a clue
So don't be cruel Joseph
Help me I beg of you.

Well I was standing doing nothing in a field out of town
When I saw seven beautiful ears of corn, uh-huh
They were ripe, they were golden and
You've guessed it
Right behind them came seven other ears
Tattered and torn, uh-huh.

Well the bad corn ate the good corn
They came up from behind yes they did
Now Joseph here's the punch line
It's really gonna blow you're mind.

Well the bad corn was
As bad as it had 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 Joseph
Won't you tell poor old Pharaoh
What does this crazy dream mean?
Oh yeah.
