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
