Joseph's Coat (The Coat Of Many Colors) Songtext / Lyric

JACOB: Joseph's mother, she was quite my favorite wife

BROTHERS: Yechh! NARRATOR: Through young Joseph, Jacob lived his youth again

And this is why it caught the eye

A king would stop and stare

JOSEPH: When I got to try it on

I knew my sheepskin days were gone

NARRATOR: Such a dazzling coat of many colors

BROTHERS: How he loved his coat of many colors

It was red and yellow and green and brown and blue

Joseph's brothers weren't too pleased with what
