Andrew Lloyd Webber - Joseph's Coat Lyrics

Complimentary "Joseph's Coat" Ringtone

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 now this coat 
Has got our goat 
We feel life is unfair 

NARRATOR: 

And when Joseph graced the scene 
His brothers turned a shade of green 
His astounding clothing took the biscuit 

BROTHERS: 

Quite the smoothest person in the district 

JOSEPH: 

I look handsome, I look smart 
I am a walking work of art 
Such a dazzling coat of many colors 
How I love my coat of many colors 

NARRATOR & ALL: 

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 blue
