Letras de Potiphar

Potiphar had very few cares
I was one of Egypt′s millionaires
Having made a fortune buying shares in pyramids
Potiphar had made a huge pile
Owned a large percentage of the Nile
Meant that I could really live in style and I did

Joseph was an unimportant slave
Who found he liked his master
Consequently worked much harder
Even with devotion
Potiphar could see that Joseph
Was a cut above the average
Made him leader of the house
So maximum promotion

Potiphar was cool and so fine
But his wife would never toe the line
It's all there in chapter 39 of Genesis
She was beautiful but evil
Saw a lot of men against his will
He would have to tell her that she still was his

Joseph′s looks and handsome figure
Had attracted her attention
Every morning she would beckon
"Come and lie with me, lover"
Joseph wanted to resist her
'Til one day she threw to ego
Joseph cried in vain
"Please stop, I don't believe in free love"

Potiphar was counting shekels
In his den below the bedroom
When he heard a mighty rumpus
Clattering above him
Suddenly he knew his riches
Couldn′t buy him what he wanted
Gold would never make him happy
If she didn′t love him

Letting out a mighty roar
Potiphar burst through the door
"Joseph, I'll see you rot in jail
The things you have done are beyond the pale"

Poor poor Joseph
Locked up in a cell
Things ain′t going well
Ain't locked up in a cell
