[Simeon]
Do you remember
The good years in Canaan
The summers were
Endlessly gold
The 'llelds were
A patchwork of clover
The winters were never too cold
We'd stroll
Down the boulevard together
And everything
Round us was 'llne
[Jacob] Now the 'llelds
Are dead and bare
No joie de vivre anywhere
Et maintenant
We drink a bitter wine
[Brothers]
Those Canaan days
We used to know
Where have they gone
Where did they go
Eh bien raise your berets
To those Canaan days
[Simeon] Do you remember
Those wonderful parties
The splendour of Canaan's cuisine
Our extravagant elegant soirees
The gayest the Bible has seen
It's funny
But since we lost Joseph
We've gone to the other extreme
No one comes to dinner now
We'd only eat them anyhow
I even 'llnd
I'm missing Joseph's dreams
[Brothers]
Those Canaan days
We used to know
Where have they gone
Where did they go
Eh bien
Raise your berets
To those Canaan days
[Simeon] Funny
But since we lost Joseph
We've gone to the other extreme
Perhaps we all misjudged the lad
Perhaps he wasn't quite that bad
And how we miss
His en entertaining dreams
[Brothers]
Those Canaan days
We used to know
Where have they gone
Where did did they go
Eh bien raise your berets to
[Simeon] Those Canaan days
[Brothers]
Eh bien
Raise your berets
To those Canaan days
