Jacob was the founder of a whole new nation
Thanks to the number of children he'd had
He was also known as Israel, but most of the time
His sons and his wives used to call him Dad
|
|
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-coloured coat to wear
|
Such a Dazzling Coat of many colors,
How he loved that coat of many colors.
In a class above the rest,
it even went well with his vest...
|
|
Next day, far from home,
The brothers planned the repulsive crime
"Let us grab him now,
Do him in, while we've got the time"
|
|
You know you had a dozen sons
Well now that's not quite true
But feel no sorrow, do not grieve,
He would not want you to
|
|
Potiphar was cool and so fine
But his wife would never toe the line
It's all there in chapter thirty-nine
Of Genesis
|
|
If my life were important I
Would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie
Far from this world
|
|
Go, go, go Joseph you know what they say
Hang on now Joseph you'll make it some day
Sha la la Joseph you're doing fine
You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time
|
|
Well you know that kings ain't stupid
But I don't have a clue
So don't be cruel Joseph
Help me now I beg of you
|
|
Those Canaan days we used to know
Where have they gone, where did they go?
Eh bien, raise your berets
To those Canaan days
|
|
I hear the steel drums sing their song
They're singing man you know you got it wrong
I hear the voice of the yellow bird
Singing in the tree this is quite absurd
|
|
So Jacob came to Egypt,
No longer feeling old
And Joseph came to meet him
In his chariot of gold
|
|
Give me my coloured coat,
My amazing coloured coat,
Give me my coloured coat,
MY AMAZING COLOURED COAT
