This recording has both "Pharoah's Dream Explained" and "Stone the Crows" from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I combined both of them because, Pharoah's Dream Explained is very short, so it made sense to just put both the songs together.
Also, I filled in both Joseph's and Pharoah's part, so all that's needed is someone to sing the Narator's part. Lastly, since "Stone The Crows" is the song that needs the Narrator part filled in, here are the lyrics and a video you can reference below:

*Personally, I think Kelli Rabke was the best Narrator, but there aren't any videos of her doing this song - sorry*

Narrator:
Pharoah said
Pharoah:
Well stone the crows
This Joseph is a clever kid
Who'd have thought that 14 cows
Could mean the things
He said they did
Joseph, you must help me further
I have got a job for you
You will help my through this crisis
You shall be my number two
Narrator:
Pharoah told his guards
To fetch a chisel from the local store
Whereupon he ordered them
To cut the chains that Joseph wore
Joseph got a royal pardon
And a host of slpended things
A chariot of gold, a float,
A medal, and some signet rings
Narrator:
Joseph (Joseph)
Pharoah's number two (Pharoah's number two)
Jospeh (Joseph)
Egypt looks to you (Egypt looks to you)
Joseph (Joseph)
Pharoah's number two (Pharoah's number two)
Jospeh (Joseph)
Egypt looks to you (Egypt looks to you)
Jospeh
Seven summers on the trot
Went perfect just as Joseph said
Joseph saw that food was gathered
Ready for the years ahead
Seven years of famine followed
Egypt did not mind a bit
The recorded rationong
In history was a hit
Girls (Brooklyn style):
Joseph how can we ever say
All that we want to about you
We're so glad that you came our way
We would have perished without you
Pharoah:
Joseph we are the perfect team
Old buddies that's you and me
I was wise to have chosen you
You would be wise to agree
Girls (Brooklyn Style):
Joseph how can we ever say
All that we want to about you
We're so glad that you came our way
We would have perished without you
Pharoah:
We were in a jam
Would have baffled Abraham
But now we're a partnership
It's just a piece of cake
Girls (Brooklyn Style):
Greatest man since Noah
Only goes to show ya
Joseph:
Anyone fom anywhere
Can make it
If they get a lucky break
Narrator:
This could be a happy ending
Perfect place to stop the show
Joseph after all has got
About as far as he could go
But I'm sure that Jacob
And his other sons have crossed your mind
How the famine hit the family
Joseph left behind
