Jacob and Sons / Joseph's Coat

Way, way back many centuries ago
Not long after the Bible began
Jacob lived in the land of Canaan
A fine example of a family man
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Depended on farming to earn their keep
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Spent all of his days in the fields with sheep
Jacob was the founder of a whole new
Nation thanks to the number of children he had he was also known as
Israel but most of the time his
sons and his wives used to call him Dad.
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Men of the soil of the sheaf and crook
Jacob, Jacob and sons
A remarkable family kn anyone's book
Reuben was the eldest of the children
Of Israel with Simeon and Levi are the next
in line Napthali, Isaacher with Asher and Dan
Zebulon and Gad took the total to nine
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Benjamin and Judah which leaves only one Jacob,
Jacob and sons Joseoh Jacob's favourite son Jacob,
Jacob and sons Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jacob, Jacob and sons Jacob, Jacob
Jacob, Jacob and sons.
Joseph's mother she was quite my favourite wife I never
really loved another all my life whoen Joseph was my joy
Because he reminded me of her
Through young Joseph Jacob
Lived his youth again loved him
Praised him gave him all he could but
then it made the rest feel secondf best
And even if they were
Being told we're also rans
Does not make us Joseph's fans
But where they had really missed the boat
is we're great guys but no one seems to notice
Joseph's charm and winning smile
Failed to slay them in the aisle
And his father could not see the danger
He could not inagine any danger
He just saw in Joseph and 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-coloured coat to wear
Josephs coat was elegant
The cut was fine the tasteful style
Of good design this is why It caught
The eye the king would stop and star
And whoen Joseph tried it on
He knew his sheepskin days we're gone
Such a dazzling coat of many colours
How he loved his coat of many colours
In a class above the rest
It even went well with his vest
Such a stunning coat of many colours
How he loved his coat of many colours
It was red and yellow and green and brown and blue.
Joseph's brothers weren't so pleased with what they saw
We have never liked him all that much before and
now his coat had got our coat 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 colours
How I love my coat of many colours
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 Russett and grey and purple and white
ànd pink and orange and 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 Russett
and grey and purple and white and pink and orange and blue.
