Joseph - Joseph's Coat lyrics
rate me(Jacob)<br />
Joseph's mother, she was quite my favorite wife<br />
I never really loved another all my life<br />
And Joseph was my joy because<br />
He reminded me of her<br />
<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 />
<br />
(Brothers)<br />
Being told we're also-rans<br />
Does not make us Joseph fans<br />
<br />
(Narrator)<br />
But where they had really missed the boat is<br />
<br />
(Brothers)<br />
We're great guys but no-one seems to notice<br />
<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 />
<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-colored coat to wear<br />
<br />
(Brothers & 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 />
<br />
(Narrator)<br />
And when Joseph tried it on<br />
He knew his sheepskin days were gone<br />
<br />
(Narrator, Female Ensemble & Children)<br />
Such a dazzling coat of many colors<br />
How he loved his coat of many colors<br />
<br />
(Narrator)<br />
In a class above the rest<br />
It even went well with his vest<br />
Such a stunning coat of many colors<br />
How he loved his coat of many colors<br />
It was red and yellow and green and<br />
Brown and blue<br />
<br />
Joseph's brothers weren't<br />
Too pleased with what they saw<br />
<br />
(Brothers)<br />
We had 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 />
<br />
(Narrator, Female Ensemble & Children)<br />
And when Joseph graced the scene<br />
His bothers turned a shade of green<br />
His astounding clothing took the biscuit<br />
<br />
(Brothers)<br />
Quite the smoothest person in the district<br />
<br />
(Joseph & Female Ensemble)<br />
I look handsome, I look smart<br />
I am a walking work of art<br />
Such a dazzling coat of many colors<br />
How I love my coat of many colors<br />
<br />
(Narrator, Joseph, Ensemble & Children)<br />
It was red and yellow and green and brown<br />
And scarlet and black and ocher 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<br />
Scarlet and black and ocher 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
