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.
Brothers: Blech!
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
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.
Joseph's charm and winning smiles
Failed to slay us in the aisles,
Narrator:
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:
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
Joseph:
And when I got to try it on,
I knew his sheepskin days were gone.
Such a dazzling coat of many colors
Brothers:
How he loved his coat of many colors
In a class above the rest
It even went well with his vest.
Narrator:
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].
Narrator:
Joseph’s brother’s 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:
And when Joseph graced the scene
His brothers turned a shade of green
His astounding clothing took the biscuit
Brothers & Narrator:
Quite the smoothest person in the district
Joseph (with Female Ensemble on "ah"):
I look handsome, I look smart
I’m a walking work of art
Such a dazzling coat of many colors
How I love my coat of many colors
