Jacob 

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 

Narrator 

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 

Brothers 

Being told we're also-rans 

Does not make us Joseph fans 

Narrator 

But where they had really missed the boat is 

Brothers 

We're great guys but no-one seems to notice 

Narrator 

Joseph's charm and winning smile 

Failed to slay them in the aisle 

And his 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 

Brothers & Female Ensemble 

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 

Narrator 

And when Joseph tried it on 

He knew his sheepskin days were gone 

Narrator, Female Ensemble & Children 

Such a dazzling coat of many colors 

How he loved his coat of many colors 

Narrator 

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 

Brothers 

We had never liked him 

All that much before 

And now this coat 

Has got our goat 

We feel life is unfair 

Narrator, Female Ensemble & Children 

And when Joseph graced the scene 

His bothers turned a shade of green 

His astounding clothing took the biscuit 

Brothers 

Quite the smoothest person in the district 

Joseph & Female Ensemble 

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
