Joseph:
I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain
To see for certain, what I thought I knew
Far far away, someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do
I wore, your coat
Jacob: My Son
Joseph and Children:
(He wore your coat)
With golden lining
Bright colours shining, wonderful and new
And in the east, the dawn was breaking
And the world was waking, any dream will do
Joseph:
A crash of drums
A flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight
The colours faded into darkness
I was left alone
Joseph & Children & Ensebmle:
May I return to the beginning
The light is dimming, and the dream is too
The world and I, we are still waiting
Still hesitating, any dream will do
Give me my coloured coat,
My amazing coloured coat,
Give me my coloured coat,
My amazing coloured coat,
I wore my coat, with golden lining
Bright colours shining, wonderful and new
And in the east, the dawn was breaking
And the world was waking, any dream will do
A crash of drums
A flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight
The colours faded into darkness
I was left alone
May I return, to the beginning
The light is dimming, and the dream is too
The world and I, we are still waiting
Still hesitating, any dream will do
Give me my coloured coat,
My amazing coloured coat,
Give me my coloured coat,
My amazing coloured coat,
Go go go Jo!
Well I was, standing doing nothing in a field out of town
When I saw seven beautiful ears of corn, uh-huh, oh yeah
They were ripe, they were golden but
You've guessed it,
Right behind them came seven other ears
That were tattered and torn, uh-huh
Well the bad corn ate the good corn
They came up from behind yes they did
Now Joseph here's the punch line
It's really gonna blow your mind,
You'll flip you lid, kid
Well the bad corn was
As bad as it had ever, ever ever been
Well this dream has got me all shook up
So treat me nice and tell me what it means
Hey, hey, hey Joseph
Won't you tell poor old Pharaoh right now
What does this crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy dream mean?
Oh, yeah

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 ocher 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 purple and white and pink and orange
And blue

Joseph:
Just give me a number
Instead of my name
Forget all about me
And let me decay
I do not matter,
I'm only one person
Destroy me completely
Then throw me away
If my life were important I
Would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie
Far from this world
Joseph & Children:
Close every door to me
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israel
Are never alone
For we know we shall find
Our own peace of mind
For we have been promised
A land of our own
Pharoah: Just one more time
I wore my coat, with golden lining
Bright colours shining, wonderful and new
And in the east, the dawn was breaking
And the world was waking, any dream will do
A crash of drums
A flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight
The colours faded into darkness
I was left alone
May I return, to the beginning
The light is dimming, and the dream is too
The world and I, we are still waiting
Still hesitating, any dream will do
Give me my coloured coat,
My amazing coloured coat,
Give me my coloured coat,
My amazing coloured coat,
Give me my coloured coat,
My amazing coloured coat,
Give me my coloured coat,
My amazing coloured coat,
