Lyrics to Joseph's coat
Jacob:

Joseph's mother, she was quite my favourite wife

I never really loved another all my life

And Joseph was my joy because

He reminded me of her



Erzählerin:

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 -



Brüder:

Being told we're also-rans

Does not make us Joseph fans



Erzählerin:

But where they had really missed the boat is



Brüder:

We're great guys but no-one seems to notice



Erzählerin:

Joseph's charm and winning smile

Failed to slay them in the aisle

And his father couldn't see the danger

He could not imagine an ydanger

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-Coloured coat to wear



Brüder & Fraeun:

Joseph's coat was elegant,

The cut was fine

The tastefull style was the

Ultimate in good design

And this is why it caught the eye

A king would stop and stare



Erzählerin:

And when Joseph tried it on

He knew his sheepskin days were gone



Erzählerin & Frauen & Kinder:

Such a dazzing coat of many colours

How he loved his coat of many colours



Erzählerin:

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



Joseph's brothers weren't

Too pleased with what they saw



Brüder:

We have never liked him

All that much before

And now this coat

Has got our goat

We feel life is unfair



Erzählerin, Frauen & Kinder:

And when Joseph graced the scene

His brothers turned a shade of green

His astounding clothing took the biscuit



Brüder:

Quite the smoothest person in the district



Joseph & Frauen:

I look handsome, I look smart

I am a walking work of art

Such a dazzling coat of many colours

How I love my coat of many colours



Alle:

It was red and yellow and green and brown

And scarlet and black and ochre and peach

And ruby and olive and violet and fawn

And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve

And cream and crimson and silver and rose

And azure and lemon and russet and grey

And purple and white and pink and orange

And red and yellow and green and brown and

Scarlet and black and ochre and peach

And ruby and olive and violet and fawn

And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve

And cream and crimson and silver and rose

And azure and lemon and russet and grey

And purple and white and pink and orange

And blue
