Andrew Lloyd Webber - Grovel Grovel (Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor 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
