I always thought "Grovel, grovel, cringe, bow, stoop, fall, worship, worship, beg, kneel, sponge, crawl" sounded like "We three kings of Orient are bearing gifts we traveled so far"!
I always felt it sounded like a hymn too.
Not sure why, but this is one of my favorite songs in this show
Mine too! I remember this song almost the most besides the main song of course.
The jazz waltz is a bop

Every time someone says So, and pauses for a bit, This pops in my head

Introduces tension
WORSHIP, WORSHIP THANK YOU SPONGEBOOOOB
You know, I happen to have misheard the words that way too.
I love how initially Joseph only gives them food so he can test them with the Benjamin cup ruse to see if they’ve truly changed yet the brothers are so hungry and desperate they don’t even think of it.

Narrator
So back in Canaan the future looked rough
Jacob's family were finding it tough
Brothers
For the famine has caught us unprepared
We are thin
We are ill
We are getting scared
It's enough to make anyone weep
We are down to our very last sheep
Reuben
We will starve if we hang around here
Zebulun
But in Egypt there's food going spare
Asher
They've got corn
They've got meat
They've got fruit and drinks
Dan
And if we have the time
We could see the Sphinx!
Narrator
So they finally decided to go
Off to Egypt to see brother Joe
So they all lay before
Joseph's feet
Brothers
Mighty prince, give us something to eat
Narrator
Joseph found it a strain
Not to laugh because
Not a brother among them
Knew who he was
Joseph
I shall now take them all for a ride
After all they have tried fratricide
===
GROVEL, GROVEL
Joseph
I dreamed that in the fields one day,
The corn gave me 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 realise why
How do I know where you came 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
Narrator & Brothers
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
Narrator & Brothers
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
Narrator & Brothers
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 with 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
Jospeh turned to them all
With a terrible stare and said
Joseph
No No No No No

Worship, worship, thank you, SpongeBob
