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 and 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:

Grovel, grovel, cringe, bow, stoop, fall Worship, worship, beg, kneel, sponge, crawl

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

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 gets me right here

BROTHERS:

This is what we hoped you`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:

Thank you, thank you, cringe, bow, stoop, fall Worship, worship, beg, kneel, sponge, crawl

NARRATOR:

Joseph handed them sackloads of food And they grovelled with base gratitude Then, unseen, Joseph nipped out around the back And planted a cup in young Benjamin`s sack When the brothers were ready to go Joseph turned to them all with a terrible stare and said No! No! No! No! No!
