Joseph - Those Canaan Days lyrics

rate me

(Simeon)<br />

Do you remember the good years in Canaan?<br />

The summers were endlessly gold<br />

The fields were a patchwork of clover<br />

The winters were never too cold<br />

We'd stroll down the boulevards together<br />

And everything round us was fine<br />

<br />

(Jacob)<br />

Now the fields are dead and bare<br />

No joie de vivre anywhere<br />

Et maintenant we drink a bitter wine<br />

<br />

(Brothers)<br />

Those Canaan days we used to know<br />

Where have they gone, where did they go?<br />

Eh bien, raise your berets<br />

To those Canaan days<br />

<br />

(Simeon)<br />

Do you remember those wonderful parties?<br />

The splendor of Canaan's cuisine<br />

Our extravagant, elegant soirees<br />

The gayest the Bible has seen<br />

<br />

It's funny but since we lost Joseph<br />

We've gone to the other extreme<br />

No-one comes to dinner now<br />

We'd only eat them anyhow<br />

I even find I'm missing Joseph's dreams<br />

<br />

(Brothers)<br />

Those Canaan days we used to know<br />

Where have they gone, where did they go?<br />

Eh bien, raise your berets<br />

To those Canaan days<br />

<br />

(Simeon)<br />

It's funny but since we lost Joseph<br />

We've gone to the other extreme<br />

Perhaps we all misjudged the lad<br />

Perhaps he wasn't quite that bad<br />

And how we miss his entertaining dreams<br />

<br />

(Brothers)<br />

Those Canaan days we used to know<br />

Where have they gone, where did they go?<br />

Eh bien, raise your berets<br />

<br />

(Simeon)<br />

To those Canaan days<br />

<br />

(Brothers)<br />

Eh bien, raise your berets<br />

To those Canaan days
