Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Rela - Joseph's Coat lyrics

rate me

Jacob

Joseph's mother, she was quite my favorite wife

I never really loved another all my life

And Joseph was my joy because

He reminded me of her

Narrator

Through young Joseph, Jacob lived his youth again

Loved him, praised him, gave him all he could, but then

It made the rest feel second best

And even if they were

Brothers

Being told we're also-rans

Does not make us Joseph fans

Narrator

But where they had really missed the boat is

Brothers

We're great guys but no-one seems to notice

Narrator

Joseph's charm and winning smile

Failed to slay them in the aisle

And his father couldn't see the danger

He could not imagine any danger

He just saw in Joseph all his dreams come true

Jacob wanted to show the world he loved his son

To make it clear that Joseph was the special one

So Jacob bought his son a coat

A multi-colored coat to wear

Brothers & Female Ensemble

Joseph's coat was elegant

The cut was fine

The tasteful style was the

Ultimate in good design

And this is why it caught the eye

A king would stop and stare

Narrator

And when Joseph tried it on

He knew his sheepskin days were gone

Narrator, Female Ensemble & Children

Such a dazzling coat of many colors

How he loved his coat of many colors

Narrator

In a class above the rest

It even went well with his vest

Such a stunning coat of many colors

How he loved his coat of many colors

It was red and yellow and green and

Brown and blue

Joseph's brothers weren't

Too pleased with what they saw

Brothers

We had never liked him

All that much before

And now this coat

Has got our goat

We feel life is unfair

Narrator, Female Ensemble & Children

And when Joseph graced the scene

His bothers turned a shade of green

His astounding clothing took the biscuit

Brothers

Quite the smoothest person in the district

Joseph & Female Ensemble

I look handsome, I look smart

I am a walking work of art

Such a dazzling coat of many colors

How I love my coat of many colors

Narrator, Joseph, Ensemble & Children

It was red and yellow and green and brown

And scarlet and black and ocher and peach

And ruby and olive and violet and fawn

And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve

And cream and crimson and silver and rose

And azure and lemon and russet and grey

And purple and white and pink and orange

And red and yellow and green and brown

Scarlet and black and ocher and peach

And ruby and olive and violet and fawn

And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve

And cream and crimson and silver and rose

And azure and lemon and russet and grey

And purple and white and pink and orange

And blue
