Joseph And Sons Lyrics - Joseph

(Narrator) 

Way way back many centuries ago, 

Not long after the Bible began 

Jacob lived in the land of Canaan, 

A fine example of a family man. 

Jacob, Jacob and sons, 

Depended on farming to earn their keep. 

Jacob, Jacob and sons, 

Spen all of his days in the fields with sheep. 

Jacob was the founder of a whole new nation 

Thanks to the number of children he had 

He was also known as Israel, but most of the time 

His sons and his wives used to call him Dad. 

Jacob, Jacob and sons, 

Men of the soil, of the sheaf and crook 

Jacob, Jacob and sons, 

A remarkable family in anyone's book. 

(Narrator, Brothers, Female Ensemble & Children) 

Reuben was the eldest of the children of Israel 

With Simeon and Levi the nex in line 

Naphtali and Isaachar with Asher and Dan 

Zebulun and Gad took the total to nine 

Jacob, Jacob and sons, 

Benjamin and Judah, which leaves only one 

Jacob, Jacob and sons, 

Joseph - Jacob's favourite son 

Jacob, Jacob and sons 

Jacob, Jacob and sons 

Jacob, Jacob and sons 

Jacob Jacob Jacob 

Jacob and 

Sons

(Jacob) 

Joseph's mother, she was quite my favourite 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 makes 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-coloured coat to wear 

(Brothers and 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 colours 

How he loved his coat of many coloures 

(Narrator) 

In a class above the rest 

It even went well with his vest 

Such a stunning coat of many colours 

How he loved his coat of many colours 

It was red and yellow and green and 

Brown and blue 

Joseph's brothers weren't 

Too pleased with what they saw 

(Brothers) 

We have 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 whe Joseph graced the scene 

His brothers 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 walking work of art 

Such a dazzling coat of colours 

How I love my coat of many colours 

(Narrator, Joseph, Ensemble & Children) 

It was red and yellow and green and brown 

And scarlet and black and ochre 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 and 

Scarlet and black and ochre 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
