Joseph - Joseph And Sons lyrics

rate me

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 />

(Narrator, Brothers, Female Ensemble & Children) <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 />

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 />

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 />

Being told we're also-rans<br />

Does not makes us Joseph fans <br />

(Narrator) <br />

But where they had really missed the boat is <br />

Brothers <br />

We're great guys but no-one seems to notice <br />

(Narrator) <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 />

(Brothers and Female Ensemble) <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 />

And when Joseph tried it on<br />

He knew his sheepskin days were gone <br />

Narrator & Female Ensemble & Children <br />

Such a dazzling coat of many colours<br />

How he loved his coat of many coloures <br />

(Narrator) <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 />

(Brothers) <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 />

And whe Joseph graced the scene<br />

His brothers turned a shade of green<br />

His astounding clothing took the biscuit <br />

Brothers <br />

Quite the smoothest person in the district <br />

(Joseph & Female Ensemble) <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 />

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
