Joseph's Coat (The Coat Of Many Colors) |
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 |
BROTHERS: |
Yechh! |
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 were also-rans |
Does not make us Joseph fans |
NARRATOR: |
But where they have really missed the boat is |
BROTHERS: |
We’re great guys but no-one seems to notice |
Joseph’s charm and winning smiles |
Fail to slay us in the aisles |
NARRATOR: |
And their 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 |
