Go Go Go Joseph Songtext / Lyric

[Narrator]

Joseph's luck was really out

His spirit and his fortune low

Alone he sat, alone he thought

Of happy times he used to know



[1st Man]

Hey, dreamer, don't be so upset



[2nd Man]

hey Joseph, you're not beaten yet



[Narrator Ensemble]

Go, go go Joseph, you know what they say

Hang on now, Joseph, you'll make it some day

Don't give up, Joseph, fight till you drop

We've read the book, and you come out on top



[Narrator]

Now, into Joseph's prison cell

were flung two very frightened men






[Baker Butler]

We don't think that we will ever

see the light of day again

Hey, Joseph, help us if you can

We've had dreams that we don't understand



[Narrator Ensemble]

Both men were servants of Pharaoh the King

Both in the doghouse for doing their thing



[Narrator]

One was a baker, a cook in his prime

One was a butler, the Jeeves of his time



[Joseph]

Tell me of your dreams, my friends

And I will tell you what they show

Though I cannot guarantee

To get it right, I'll have a go



[Narrator]

First the butler, trembling, took the floor

Nervously he spoke of what he saw



[Butler]

There I was standing in front of a vine

I picked some grapes and I crushed them to wine

I gave some to Pharaoh, who drank from my cup

I tried to interpret, but I had to give up



[Joseph]

You will soon be free, my friend

So do not worry anymore

The King will let you out of here

You'll butle as you did before



[Narrator]

Next the baker rose to tell his dream

Hoping it would have a similar theme



[Baker]

There I was standing with baskets of bread

High in the sky I saw birds overhead

Who flew to my basket and ate every slice

Now give me the message - like his, would be nice



[Joseph]

Sad to say your dream is not

The kind of dream I'd like to get

Pharaoh has it in for you

Your execution date is set

Don't rely on all I said I saw

It's just that I have not been wrong before



[Ensemble]

Go, go, go Joseph, you know what they say

Hang on now, Joseph, you'll make it some day

Shalala Joseph, you're doing fine

You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time



Go, go, go Joseph, you know what they say

Hang on now, Joseph, you'll make it some day

Shalala Joseph, you're doing fine

You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time



Go, go, go, go

Go, go, go, go

Go, go, go, go

Go, go, go, go

Go, go, go, go

Go, go, go, go, go-

Go, go, go Joseph, you know what they say

Hang on now, Joseph, you'll make it some day

Shalala Joseph, you're doing fine

You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time



Go, go, go, go-

Go, go, go Joseph, you know what they say

Hang on now, Joseph, you'll make it some day

Shalala Joseph, you're doing fine

You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time



[Narrator]

Ahead of your time



[Joseph]

Ahead of my time



[Narrator]

Ahead of your time



[Joseph]

Ahead of my--



[All]

TIME!
