In his dazzling coat of many colors (azure, lemon, russet, grey)
How he loves that coat of many colors (purple, white, pink, orange)

There's one more angel in heaven
There's one more star in the sky
Joseph, we'll never forget you
It's tough but we're gonna get by
There's one more angel in heaven
There's one more star in the sky
Joseph, the things that you stood for
Like truth and light never die
Go, go, go

A Pharaoh story
A Pharaoh story
A Pharaoh story
A Pharaoh story
Strange as it seems
There's been a run of crazy dreams (of crazy-)
And a man who can interpret could go far
Could become a star (could be famous, could be a big success)
(Could be famous, could be a big success)
(Could be famous, could be a big success)
(Could be famous, could be a big success)
Joseph! (Joseph!)
Pharaoh's number two (Pharaoh's number two)
Joseph! (Joseph!)
Egypt looks to you (Egypt looks to you)
Joseph! (Joseph!)
Pharaoh's number two (Pharaoh's number two)
Joseph! (Joseph!)
Egypt looks to you (Egypt looks to you)
Jo-seph!
Well, I was wandering along by the banks of the river
When seven fat cows came out of the Nile, uh-huh-huh, oh yeah
And right behind these fine healthy animals
Came seven other cows—skinny and vile, uh-huh-huh, oh yeah
Oh well, the thin cows ate the fat cows
Which I thought would do them good, uh-huh-huh, oh yeah
But it didn't make 'em fatter like
Such a monster supper should, oh no
Well, the thin cows were as thin as they had
Ever, ever, ever been!
Well, this dream has got me baffled
Hey Joseph, tell me what it means, yeah!
Well, you know that kings ain't stupid
I don't have a clue
Don't be cruel, Joseph
Help me now, I beg of you!
(So back in Canaan the future looked rough)
(Jacob's family was finding it tough)
For the famine has caught us unprepared
We are thin, we are ill
We are getting scared
(It's enough to make anyone weep)
We are down to our very last sheep
We will starve if we hang around here
And in Egypt there's food going spare
They've got corn
They've got meat
They've got fruit and drinks
And if we have the time
We could see the Sphinx!
So they finally decided to go (here we go)
Off to Egypt to see brother Jo!
Oh no (oh no)
Not he (not he)
How can you accuse him is a mystery
Save him (save him)
Take me (take me)
Benjamin is straighter than the tall palm tree
Oh yes (oh yes)
It's true (it's true)
Benjamin is straighter than the big bamboo
No ifs (no ifs)
No buts (no buts)
Benjamin is honest as coconuts!
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la
So Jacob came to Egypt
No longer feeling old
And Joseph came to meet him
In his chariot of gold
Of gold!
Of gold!
Give me my colored coat—my amazing colored coat
Give me my colored coat
My amazing, colored
Coat!
