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 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 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
