It was red yellow green brown
Scarlet black ochre peach

There's one more
Angel in heaven
There's one more star in the sky

There's one more tear in my eye
But Joseph the things

A Pharaoh story
A Pharaoh story
A Pharaoh story
A Pharaoh story
Strange at 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 a star
Joseph-Pharaoh's number two
Joseph-Egypt looks to you
Joseph-Pharaoh's number two
Joseph-Egypt looks to you
Joseph
Well I was wandering along
The banks of the river
When seven fat cows
Came up out of the Nile
Uh huh oh yeah
And right behind
These 'llne 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
Well it didn't make them fatter
Like I thought a monster
Supper should
Well the thin cows
Were as thin
As they had ever ever ever been
Well this dream
Has got me baffled
Hey Joseph
What does it mean
Now you know
That kings ain't stupid
But I don't have a clue
So don't be cruel now Joseph
Help me now I beg ofyou
So back in Canaan
The future looked rough
Jacob's family
Was 'llnding 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
lfwe hang around here
While in Egypt
There's food going spare
They've got corn
They've got meat
They've got fruit and drinks
And ifwe have the time
We could see the sphinx
So they 'llnally decided to go
Offto 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 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
Oh no not he
Not he
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 gold
Of gold
Of gold
Give me my coloured coat
My amazing coloured coat
Give me my coloured coat
My amazing coloured coat
