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

 Erz?hlerin & Ensemble:
 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 out on top

 Erz?hlerin:
 Now into Joseph's prison cell
 Were flung two very frigthened men

 B?cker & Butler:
 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

 Erz?hlerin & Ensemble:
 Both men were servants of Pharao the King
 Both in the doghouse for doing their thing

 Erz?hlerin:
 One was a baker, a cook in his prime
 One was a buttler, the Jeeves of his time

 Joseph:
 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

 Erz?hlerin: First the butler, trembling took the floor
 Nervously he spoke of what he saw

 Butler:
 There I was standing in front of a vine
 I picked some grapes and I crushed them to wine
 I gave some to Pharaoh who drank from my cup
 I tried to interpret bit I had to give up

 Joseph:
 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

 Erz?hlerin:
 Next the baker rose to tell his dream
 Hoping it would have a similar theme

 Baker:
 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
 Give me the message - like his would be nice

 Joseph:
 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

 Ensemble:
 Go, go, go Joseph you know what they say
 Hang on now Joseph you'll make it some day
 Shal 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
 Shal la la Joseph you're doing fine
 You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time

 Go, go, go, go
 Go, go, go, go
 Go, go, go, go
 Go, go, go, go
 Go, go, go, go
 Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
 Go, go, go Joseph you know what they say
 Hang on now Joseph you'll make it some day
 Shal la la Joseph you're doing 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
 Shal la la Joseph you're doing fine
 You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time

 Erz?hlerin:
 Ahead of your time

 Joseph:
 Ahead of my time

 Erz?hlerin:
 Ahead of your time

 Joseph:
 Ahead of my

 Alle:
 Time
