Lyrics Joseph's Coat - Andrew Lloyd Webber , Gary Bond , Peter Reeves

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

Through young Joseph, Jacob lived his youth again
Loved him, praised him, gave him all he had but then
It made the rest feel second best
And even if they were

Being told we're also-rans
Does not make us Joseph fans

But where they have really missed the boat is

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

Joseph's charm and winning smiles
Failed to slay them in the aisles
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

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 sheepskin days were gone

Such a dazzling coat of many colors
How he loved his coat of many colors

In a class above the rest
It even went well with his vest

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

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 colors
How I love my coat of many colors
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 blue
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
And red, yellow, green, brown, scarlet, black, ochre, 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
