The Brothers Came To Egypt / Grovel, Grovel - London Palladium Cast Recording[00:00:00]
Written by:Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice[00:00:00]
So back in Canaan the future looked rough[00:00:00]
Jacob's family were finding it tough[00:00:04]
For the famine has caught us unprepared[00:00:07]
We are thin[00:00:11]
We are ill[00:00:12]
We are getting scared[00:00:13]
It's enough to make anyone weep[00:00:15]
We are down to our very last sheep[00:00:18]
We will starve if we hang around here[00:00:22]
But in Egypt there's food going spare[00:00:26]
They've got corn[00:00:29]
They've got meat[00:00:30]
They've got fruit and drinks[00:00:31]
And if we have the time[00:00:33]
We could see the sphinx[00:00:35]
So they finally decided to go[00:00:37]
Off to Egypt to see brother Joe[00:00:40]
So they all lay before[00:00:49]
Joseph's feet[00:00:51]
Mighty prince give us something to eat[00:00:53]
Joseph found it a strain[00:00:57]
Not to laugh because[00:00:58]
Not a brother among them[00:01:00]
Knew who he was[00:01:02]
I shall now take them all for a ride[00:01:04]
After all they have tried fratricide[00:01:07]
I dreamed that in the fields one day[00:01:14]
The corn gave me sign[00:01:17]
Your eleven sheaves of corn[00:01:21]
All turned and bowed to mine[00:01:24]
I dreamed I saw eleven stars[00:01:28]
The sun the moon and sky[00:01:31]
Bowing down before my star[00:01:35]
And now I realise why[00:01:38]
How do I know where you came from[00:01:43]
You could be spies[00:01:45]
Telling me that you are hungry[00:01:47]
That could be lies[00:01:49]
How do I know who you are[00:01:52]
Why do you think I should help you[00:01:56]
Would you help me[00:01:59]
Why on earth should I believe you[00:02:01]
I've no guarantee[00:02:03]

We are just eleven brothers[00:02:24]
Good men and true[00:02:26]
Though we know we count for nothing[00:02:28]
When up next to you[00:02:30]
Honesty's are middle name[00:02:33]
Life is slowly ebbing from us[00:02:37]
Hope's almost gone[00:02:40]
It's getting very hard to see us[00:02:42]
From sideways on[00:02:44]
Grovel grovel cringe bow stoop fall[00:02:46]
Worship worship beg kneel sponge crawl[00:02:50]
I rather like the way you're talking[00:02:56]
Astute and sincere[00:02:58]
Suddenly your tragic story[00:03:00]
It gets me right here[00:03:03]
This is what we hoped he'd say[00:03:05]
All this tugging at my heartstrings[00:03:09]
Seems quite justified[00:03:11]
I shall give you what you came for[00:03:14]
And lots more beside[00:03:16]

Thank you thank you cringe bow stoop fall[00:03:26]

Joseph handed them sackloads of food[00:03:41]
And they grovelled with base gratitude[00:03:47]
Then unseen Joseph out around the back[00:03:53]
And planted a cup in young Benjamin's sack[00:04:00]
When the brothers were ready to go[00:04:08]
Joseph turned to them all[00:04:11]
With a terrible stare and said[00:04:13]
No no no no[00:04:16]
