Joseph
Benjamin, you nasty youth,
Your crime has shocked me to the core
Never in my whole career
Hav I encontered this before
Guards, seize him! Lock him in a cell
Throw the key into the Nile as well

Narrator
Each of the brothers fell to his knees

Brothers
Show him some mercy, oh mighty one please
He would not do this, he must have been framed
Jail us and beat us, we should be blamed.

Brothers
Oh no - not he
How can you accuse him is a mystery
Save him - take me
Benjamin is straightr than the tall palm tree

Judah
I hear the steel drums sing their song
They're singing man you know you've got it wrong
I hear the voice of the yellow bird
Singing in the tree this is quite absurd
Oh yes

Brothers
Oh yes

Judah
It's true

Brothers
It's true

Judah
Benjamin is straighter than the big bamboo
No ifs

Brothers
No ifs

Judah
No buts

Brothers
No buts

Judah
Benjamin is honest as coconuts
Sure as the tide wash the golden sand
Benjamin is an innocent man
Sure as bananas need the sun
We are the criminal guilty ones

Oh no

Brothers & Female Ensemble

Judah
Not he

Brothers & Female Ensemble
Not he

We are the criminal guilty ones
Oh no

La la la la la la la

Narrator

Joseph knew by this his brothers now were honest men
The time had come at last to reunite them all again

Joseph

Can't you recognise my face? Is it had to see
That Joseph, who you thought was dead, your brother
It's me?

Narrator & Children

Joseph, Joseph, is it really true?
Joseph, Joseph, is it really you?

Narrator, Ensemble & Children

Joseph, Joseph
