PROLOGUE
Some folks dream of the wonders they'll do
Before their time on this planet is through
Some just don't have anything planned
They hide their hopes and their heads in the sand
Now I don't say who is wrong, who is right
But if by chance you are here for the night
Then all I need is an hour or two
To tell the tale of a dreamer like you
We all dream a lot - some are lucky, some are not
But if you think it, want it, dream it, then it's real
You are what you feel
POTIPHAR
Narrator
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
Gold would never make him happy - If she didn't love him
Letting out a mighty roar
Potiphar burst through the door
Potiphar
Joseph, I'll see you rot in jail
The things that you have done are beyond the pale
Narrator
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
PHAROAH’S STORY
Strange as it seems
There's been a run of crazy dreams
And a man who can interpret could go far
Could become a star
Could be a star!
CLOSE EVERY DOOR
Just give me a number - Instead of my name
Forget all about me - And let me decay
I do not matter, I'm only one person
Destroy me completely - Then throw me away
If my life were important I - Would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie - Far from this world
Close every door to me,
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israel
Are never alone
For we know we shall find
Our own peace of mind
For we have been promised
A land of our own
SONG OF THE KING #1
Well the bad corn ate the good corn
Man they came up right behind - yes they did
Now Joseph here's the punchline
It's really gonna blow your mind - flip your lid
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
SONG OF THE KING #2
Hey hey hey Joseph won't you tell poor old pharaoh
What does this crazy crazy, crazy, crazy dream mean. Oh yeah!
