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 were 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
|
Fail to slay us 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
|
|
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
|
