Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat - Josephs Coat (The Coat of Many Colors) 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

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 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:

When I got to try it on I knew my sheepskin days were gone

NARRATOR:

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 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
