Go, Go, Go Joseph

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 Don't give up Joseph, fight till you drop We've read the book and you come at on top Now into Joseph's prison cell were flung two very frightened men We don't think 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 doghouse for doing their thing One was a baker; a cook in his prime 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 I took some grapes and I crushed them to wine I gave them to Pharaoh who drank from my cup I tried to interpret but I had to give up You will soon be free my friend, so do not worry any more The king will let you out of here—you'll buttle 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, I saw birds overhead Who flew to my baskets and ate every slice Now give me the message—like his would be nice 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 Jo Go, go Jo Go, go Jo Go, go Jo 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 doin' 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 doin' fine You and your Dreamcoat, ahead of your time Go, go, go Jo Go, go, go Jo Go, go, go Jo Go, go, go Jo Go, go, go, Jo! Go, go, go, go, 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 doin' fine You and your Dreamcoat, ahead of your time Go, go, go, go, 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 doin' fine You and your Dreamcoat, ahead of your time Ahead of your time (Ahead of my time) Ahead of your time (Ahead of my time) Ahead of your time (Ahead of my time) Ahead of your time (Ahead of my time) Ahead of your time (Ahead of my time) Ahead of your time Ahead of your— Time!
