Grovel, Grovel Lyrics

(Joseph)

I dreamed that in the fields one day

The corn gave me a sign

Your eleven sheaves of corn

All turned and bowed to mine

I dreamed I saw eleven stars

The sun the moon and sky

Bowing down before my star,

And now I realize why



How do I know where you come from?

You could be spies

Telling me that you are hungry.

That could be lies

How do I know who you are?

Why do you think I should help you?

Would you help me?

Why on earth should I believe you?

I've no guarantee



(Brothers & Narrator)

Grovel, grovel, cringe, bow, stoop, fall

Worship, worship, beg, kneel, sponge, crawl



(Brothers)

We are just eleven brothers

Good men and true

Though we know we count for nothing

When up next to you

Honesty's our middle name

Life is slowly ebbing from us

Hope's almost gone

It's getting very hard to see us

>From sideways on



(Brothers & Narrator)

Grovel, grovel, cringe, bow, stoop, fall

Worship, worship, beg, kneel, sponge, crawl



(Joseph)

I rather like the way you're talking

Astute and sincere

Suddenly your tragic story

It gets me right here



(Brothers)

This is what we hoped he'd say



(Joseph)

All this tugging at my heartstrings

Seems quite justified

I shall give you what you came for

And lots more beside



(Brothers & Narrator)

Grovel, grovel, cringe, bow, stoop, fall

Worship, worship, beg, kneel, sponge, crawl



(Brothers)

Thank you, thank you, cringe, bow, stoop, fall

Worship, worship, beg, kneel, sponge, crawl



(Narrator)

Joseph handed them sackloads of food

And they grovelled in base gratitude



(Female Ensemble)

Then unseen, Joseph nipped out around the back

And planted a cup in young Benjamin's sack



(Narrator)

When the brothers were ready to go

Joseph turned to them all

With a terrible stare and said



(Joseph & Children)

No No No No No
