Lyrics Go, Go, Go Joseph - Andrew Lloyd Webber , Gary Bond , Peter Reeves

Joseph's luck was really out
His spirit and his fortune low
Alone he sat, alone he thought
Of happy times he used to know

Hey dreamer, don't be so upset
Hey Joseph, you're not beaten yet

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

The prison walls were wet and black
His chains were heavy, weighed him down
A candle was his only light
The hungry rats the only sound

Hey dreamer, don't be so upset
Hey Joseph, you're not beaten yet

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

Now in the prison cells with Joseph
Were two very frightened men
"We don't think that we will ever
See the light of day again
Hey Joseph, help us if you can
We've had dreams that we don't understand"
Both men were servants of Pharaoh the King
Both in the dog house for doing their thing
One was a baker, a cook in his prime
And one was a butler, the Jeeves of his time

"Tell me of your dreams, my friends
And I will tell you what they show
Though I cannot guarantee
To get it right, I'll have a go"
First the butler, trembling, took the floor
Nervously, he spoke of what he saw
"There I was standing in front of a vine
Picked me some grapes and I crushed them to wine
Gave them to Pharaoh who drank from my cup
I tried to interpret, I had to give up"

"You will soon be free, old chap
So do not worry any more
The King will let you out of here
You'll buckle as you did before"
Next the baker rose to tell his dream
Hoping it would have a similar theme
"There I was standing with baskets of bread
High in the sky there were birds overhead
Who flew to the baskets and ate every slice
Give me the message, but keep it concise"

"Sad to say your dream is not
The kind of dream I'd like to get
Pharaoh has it in for you
Your execution date is set
Don't rely on all I said I saw
It's just that I have not been wrong before"

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
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
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
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
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
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
