Bought by the Egyptians - ApologetiX

Now the Amazing Technicolor Coat’s a fantastic Broadway show

If a movie’s made (Oy vey oh)

It’d prob’ly sound quite phenomenal

All because a man’s brothers sold him, got the money and off they went

Was a cocky child (Oy vey oh)

But that still seems inconsiderate

Going twice for a marked-up price, say

(Way oy vey oy vey oy vey oh)

Bought by the Egyptians

A bondslave was his fate there

Trained and then he found entry jobs galore

Paid lotsa dues (Oy vey oh)

But kept his dreams and he praised the Lord

All the girls dig Joseph’s good

looks he’s quite the hunk and a better man

But because of these (Oy vey oh)

His boss’s wife canned him in the end

Throw that slave in the darkest place, hey

(Way oy vey oy vey oy vey oh)

Caught by the Egyptians

LEAD

(Whistle)

While the Pharaoh’s asleep

Dreams go bad, he gets alarmed, and he tells his staff

I’ve got to know (Oy vey oh)

Just why did those scrawny cattle attack?

If you want the guy for the job he’s hangin' out in the dungeon block

Yes, bring him hence (Oy vey oh)

To swiftly come to sit down and talk

All this happened in Egypt and yet their smartest boy was an immigrant

That guy named Joe (Oy vey oh)

He taught the bright, wise Egyptians

So they got him a real nice job with

Pharaoh, Pharaoh, Pharaoh, Pharaoh

Sought by the Egyptians

Sought by the Egyptians
