Lyrics:

Well, welcome to Egypt there, Joseph!
Well, I was wandering along the banks of the river
When seven fat cows came out of the Nile, uh-huh-huh, oh yeah
And right behind these fine healthy animals
Came seven other cows—skinny and vile, uh-huh-huh, oh yeah
Well, the thin cows ate the fat cows
Which I thought would do them good, uh-huh-huh
But it didn't make 'em fatter like I thought a monster supper should
Well, the thin cows were as thin as they had
Ever, ever, ever, ever been
This dream has got me baffled
Hey Joseph, what does it mean?
Well, you know that kings ain't stupid
But I don't have a clue
So don't be cruel, Joseph
Help me now, I beg of you!
Well, I was standing doing nothing in a field out of town
When I saw seven beautiful ears of corn, uh-huh-huh, oh yeah
They were ripe, they were golden, and you guessed it
Right behind them there were seven other ears
Tattered and torn, uh-huh-huh, oh yeah
Well, the bad corn ate the good corn
Yeah, they came up from behind, yes they did
But Joseph here's the punch line
It's really gonna blow your mind baby—flip your lid!
Well, the bad corn was as bad as it had
Ever, ever, ever, ever been
This dream has got me all shook up
So treat me nice and tell me what it means
Hey
Hey
Hey, hey, hey Joseph
Won't you please tell the Pharaoh
What does it mean?
Whoa, yeah!
Well, I understand the bit about the corn
But I'm not quite sure about the cows
So I was wondering if you could tell me just one more time
Mr. Pharaoh, man, please
Hey, hey, hey Joseph
Won't you please tell the Pharaoh
What does this crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy dream mean?
Whoa, yeah!
