Jacob & Sons / Joseph's Coat (Re-Recorded Version) - Platinum Collection Band

Way way back many centuries ago

Not long after the bible began

Jacob lived in the land of canaan

A fine example of a family man

Jacob jacob and sons

Depended on farming to earn their keep

Jacob jacob and sons

Spend all of his days in the fields with sheep

Jacob was the founder of a whole new nation

Thanks to the number of children he had

He was also known as israel but most of the time

His sons and his wife used to call him dad

Jacob jacob and sons

Men of the soil of the sheaf and crook

Jacob jacob and sons

A remarkable family in anyone's book

Reuben was the eldest of the children of israel

With simeon and levi the nex in line

Naphtali and isaachar with asher and dan

Zebulun and gad took the total to nine

Jacob jacob and sons

Benjamin and judah which leaves only one

Jacob jacob and sons

Joseph and jacob's favourite son

Jacob and

Sons

Joseph's mother she was quite my favourite wife

I never really loved another all my life

And joseph was my joy because

He reminded me of her

Through young joseph jacob lived his youth again

Loved him praised him gave him all he could but then

It made the rest feel second best

And even if they were

Being told we're also-rans

Does not makes us joseph fans

But where they had really missed the boat is

We're great guys but no-one seems to notice

Joseph's charm and winning smile

Failed to slay them in the aisle

And his father couldn't see the danger

He could not imagine any danger

He just saw in joseph all his dreams come true

Jacob wanted to show the world he loved his son

To make it clear that joseph was the special one

So jacob bought his son a coat

A multi-coloured coat to wear

Joseph's coat was elegant

The cut was fine

The tasteful style was the

Ultimate in good design

And this is why it caught the eye

A king would stop and stare

And when joseph tried it on

He knew his sheepskin days were gone

Such a dazzling coat of many colours

How he loved his coat of many coloures

In a class above the rest

It even went well with his vest

Such a stunning coat of many colours

How he loved his coat of many colours

It was red and yellow and green and

Brown and blue

Joseph's brothers weren't

Too pleased with what they saw

We have never liked him

All that much before

And now this coat

Has got our goat

We feel life is unfair

And when joseph graced the scene

His brothers turned a shade of green

His astounding clothing took the biscuit

Quite the smoothest person in the district

I look handsome I look smart

I am 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 ochre 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 azure and lemon and russet and grey

And purple and white and pink and orange

And red and yellow and green and brown and

Scarlet and black and ochre 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 azure and lemon and russet and grey

And purple and white and pink and orange

And blue
