Scarlet, black, ocher, peach, ruby

Olive, violet, fawn, lilac, gold

Chocolate, mauve

And rose and azure and lemon

And russet and gray and purple

And white and pink and 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

A Pharaoh's story

A Pharaoh's story

A Pharaoh's story

A Pharaoh's story



Strange as it seems

There's been a run of crazy dreams

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 become a star

Could be famous

Could be a big success

Could be famous

Could be a big success



Joseph, Pharaoh's number two

Joseph, Egypt looks to you

Joseph, Pharaoh's number two

Joseph, Egypt looks to you

Joseph



Well I was wanderin'

Along by the banks of the river

When seven fat cows

Came up out of the Nile

Uh huh, oh yeah



And right behind these

Fine healthy animals came

Seven other cows skinny and vile

Uh huh, oh yeah



Well the thin cows ate

The fat cows which I

Thought would do them good

Uh huh, oh yeah



But it didn't make them fatter

Like such a monster supper should

Well the thin cows were as thin

As they had ever, ever, ever, ever been



This dream has got me baffled

Hey, Joseph, what does it mean?

Well, you know that kings ain't stupid

But 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, not he

How you can accuse him, is a mystery

Save him, take me

Benjamin is straighter

Than the tall palm tree

Oh yes, it's true



Benjamin is straighter

Than the big bamboo

No' Ifs', no 'Buts'

Benjamin is honest

As coconuts, la la la



Oh no, not he

How you can accuse him, is a mystery

Save him, take me

Benjamin is straighter

Than the tall palm tree



So Jacob came to Egypt

No longer feeling old

And Joseph came to meet him

In his chariot of the gold, of gold, of gold



Give me my colored coat

My amazing colored coat

Give me my colored coat

My amazing colored coat
