Joseph's Coat Songtext

von Andrew Lloyd Webber

Joseph's mother, she was quite my favourite wife.
I never really loved another all my life.
Joseph was my joy because he reminded me of her.
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.
Being told we're all so rance.
Does not make us Joseph mans.
But where they had really missed the boat is.
We're great guys but no-one seems to notice.
Joseph's charm and winning smile.
Failed to slay them in the isles
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.
Multi-coloured coat to wear
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.
And when Joseph tried it on,
He knew his sheep-skin days were gone.
Such a dazzling coat of many colours,
How he loved his coat of many colours.
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.
Josephs' brothers weren't too pleased with what they saw.
We had never liked him all that much before.
And now this coat has got our goat.
We feel life is unfair.
And when Joseph graced the scene,
His brothers turned a shade of green.
His astounding clothing took the biscuit.
Quite the smoothest person in the district.
I look handsome,
I look smart
I am a walking work of art.
Such a dazzling coat of many colours,
How a love my coat of many colours.
It was red and yellow and green and brown and scarlet and black and okra and peach and ruby and olive and violet.
I look handsome
I look smart
I am a walking work of art.
It was red and yellow and green and brown and scarlet and black and okra and peach and ruby and
Olive and violet and fawn and gold and chocolate and mauve and cream and crimson and silver and rose and asha and lemon and russet and grey and purple and white pink and orange and blue!
