So back in Canaan the future looked rough
 Jacob's family were finding it tough
 Brothers
 For the famine has caught us unprepared
 We are thin
 We are ill
 We are getting scared
 It's enough to make anyone weep
 We are down to our very last sheep
 Reuben
 We will starve if we hang around here
 Zebulon
 But in Egypt there's food going spare
 Asher
 They've got corn
 They've got meat
 They've got fruit and drinks
 Dan
 And if we have the time
 We could see the Sphinx

 So they finally decided to go
 Off to Egypt to see brother Jo
 So they all lay before Joseph's feet
 Brothers
 Mighty prince, give us something to eat
 Narrator
 Joseph found it a strain
 Not to laugh because
 Not a brother among them
 Knew who he was
 Joseph
 I shall now take them all for a ride
 After all they have tried fratricide
