Jacob & Sons<br>
<br>
<br>
Narrator <br>
<br>
Way way back many centuries ago,<br>
Not long after the Bible began<br>
Jacob lived in the land of Canaan,<br>
A fine example of a family man.<br>
Jacob, Jacob and sons,<br>
Depended on farming to earn their keep.<br>
Jacob, Jacob and sons,<br>
Spen all of his days in the fields with sheep. <br>
Jacob was the founder of a whole new nation<br>
Thanks to the number of children he had<br>
He was also known as Israel, but most of the time<br>
His sons and his wives used to call him Dad.<br>
Jacob, Jacob and sons,<br>
Men of the soil, of the sheaf and crook<br>
Jacob, Jacob and sons,<br>
A remarkable family in anyone's book. <br>
<br>
Narrator, Brothers, Female Ensemble & Children <br>
<br>
Reuben was the eldest of the children of Israel<br>
With Simeon and Levi the nex in line<br>
Naphtali and Isaachar with Asher and Dan<br>
Zebulun and Gad took the total to nine<br>
Jacob, Jacob and sons,<br>
Benjamin and Judah, which leaves only one <br>
Jacob, Jacob and sons,<br>
Joseph - Jacob's favourite son<br>
Jacob, Jacob and sons<br>
Jacob, Jacob and sons<br>
Jacob, Jacob and sons<br>
Jacob Jacob Jacob<br>
Jacob and<br>
Sons <br>

JOSEPH'S COAT <br>
<br>
Jacob <br>
<br>
Joseph's mother, she was quite my favourite wife<br>
I never really loved another all my life<br>
And Joseph was my joy because<br>
He reminded me of her <br>
Narrator <br>
<br>
Through young Joseph, Jacob lived his youth again<br>
Loved him, praised him, gave him all he could, but then<br>
It made the rest feel second best<br>
And even if they were - <br>
Brothers <br>
<br>
Being told we're also-rans<br>
Does not makes us Joseph fans <br>
Narrator <br>
<br>
But where they had really missed the boat is <br>
Brothers <br>
<br>
We're great guys but no-one seems to notice <br>
Narrator <br>
<br>
Joseph's charm and winning smile<br>
Failed to slay them in the aisle<br>
And his father couldn't see the danger<br>
He could not imagine any danger<br>
He just saw in Joseph all his dreams come true <br>
Jacob wanted to show the world he loved his son<br>
To make it clear that Joseph was the special one<br>
So Jacob bought his son a coat<br>
A multi-coloured coat to wear <br>
<br>
Brothers and Female Ensemble <br>
<br>
Joseph's coat was elegant,<br>
The cut was fine<br>
The tasteful style was the<br>
Ultimate in good design<br>
And this is why it caught the eye<br>
A king would stop and stare <br>
Narrator <br>
<br>
And when Joseph tried it on<br>
He knew his sheepskin days were gone <br>
Narrator & Female Ensemble & Children <br>
<br>
Such a dazzling coat of many colours<br>
How he loved his coat of many coloures <br>
Narrator <br>
<br>
In a class above the rest<br>
It even went well with his vest<br>
Such a stunning coat of many colours<br>
How he loved his coat of many colours<br>
It was red and yellow and green and<br>
Brown and blue <br>
Joseph's brothers weren't<br>
Too pleased with what they saw <br>
<br>
Brothers <br>
<br>
We have never liked him<br>
All that much before<br>
And now this coat<br>
Has got our goat<br>
We feel life is unfair <br>
Narrator, Female Ensemble & Children <br>
<br>
And whe Joseph graced the scene<br>
His brothers turned a shade of green<br>
His astounding clothing took the biscuit <br>
Brothers <br>
<br>
Quite the smoothest person in the district <br>
Joseph & Female Ensemlbe <br>
<br>
I look handsome, I look smart<br>
I am walking work of art<br>
Such a dazzling coat of colours<br>
How I love my coat of many colours <br>
Narrator, Joseph, Ensemble & Children <br>
<br>
It was red and yellow and green and brown<br>
And scarlet and black and ochre and peach<br>
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn<br>
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve<br>
And cream and crimson and silver and rose<br>
And azure and lemon and russet and grey<br>
And purple and white and pink and orange<br>
And red and yellow and green and brown and<br>
Scarlet and black and ochre and peach<br>
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn<br>
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve<br>
And cream and crimson and silver and rose<br>
And azure and lemon and russet and grey<br>
And purple and white and pink and orange<br>
And blue<br>
<br>
