[Andrew Lloyd Webber, Laurie Beechman, Bill Hutton, Gordon Stanley - Joseph’s Coat The Coat of Many Colors lyrics]
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
Yechh!
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
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 smile
Fail to slay us in the aisle
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
When I got to try it on
I knew my 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
I look handsome, I look smart
(And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve)
I am a walking work of art
(And cream and crimson and silver and rose)
Such a dazzling coat of many colors
(And azure and lemon and russet and grey)
How I love my coat of many colors
(And purple and white and pink
And orange and blue)
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
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
