Joseph's Coat Lyrics

    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
