[00:22.89] |
Way way back many centuries ago |
[00:26.03] |
Not long after the Bible began |
[00:29.17] |
Jacob lived in the land of Canaan |
[00:32.30] |
A fine example of a family man |
[00:35.93] |
Jacob, Jacob and sons |
[00:39.29] |
Depended on farming to earn their keep |
[00:42.62] |
Jacob, Jacob and sons |
[00:45.91] |
Spent all of his days in the fields with sheep |
[00:49.37] |
Jacob was the founder of a whole new nation |
[00:52.68] |
Thanks to the number of children he had |
[00:55.97] |
He was also known as Israel, but most of the time |
[00:59.36] |
His sons and his wives used to call him Dad |
[01:02.76] |
Jacob, Jacob and sons |
[01:06.08] |
Men of the soil, of the sheaf and crook |
[01:09.45] |
Jacob, Jacob and sons |
[01:12.80] |
A remarkable family in anyone's book |
[01:17.30] |
Reuben was the eldest of the children of Israel |
[01:19.70] |
With Simeon and Levi the next in line |
[01:23.15] |
Naphtali and Isaachar with Asher and Dan |
[01:26.51] |
Zebulun and Gad took the total to nine |
[01:29.86] |
Jacob, Jacob and sons |
[01:33.19] |
Benjamin and Judah, which leaves only one |
[01:36.53] |
Jacob, Jacob and sons |
[01:39.92] |
Joseph - Jacob's favourite son |
[01:43.30] |
Jacob, Jacob and sons |
[01:46.76] |
Jacob, Jacob and sons |
[01:49.98] |
Jacob, Jacob and sons |
[01:54.14] |
Jacob Jacob Jacob |
[01:57.07] |
Jacob and |
[01:58.88] |
Sons |
[02:08.85] |
Joseph's mother, she was quite my favourite wife |
[02:11.94] |
I never really loved another all my life |
[02:15.32] |
And Joseph was my joy because |
[02:18.51] |
He reminded me of her |
[02:22.34] |
Through young Joseph, Jacob lived his youth again |
[02:25.21] |
Loved him, praised him, gave him all he could, but then |
[02:28.47] |
It made the rest feel second best |
[02:31.53] |
And even if they were |
[02:34.17] |
Being told we're also-rans |
[02:37.53] |
Does not makes us Joseph fans |
[02:40.99] |
But where they had really missed the boat is |
[02:44.21] |
We're great guys but no-one seems to notice |
[02:47.44] |
Joseph's charm and winning smile |
[02:50.82] |
Failed to slay them in the aisle |
[02:54.05] |
And his father couldn't see the danger |
[02:57.34] |
He could not imagine any danger |
[03:00.91] |
He just saw in Joseph all his dreams come true |
[03:07.53] |
Jacob wanted to show the world he loved his son |
[03:10.51] |
To make it clear that Joseph was the special one |
[03:13.88] |
So Jacob bought his son a coat |
[03:17.08] |
A multi-coloured coat to wear |
[03:20.81] |
Joseph's coat was elegant |
[03:22.89] |
The cut was fine |
[03:23.88] |
The tasteful style was the |
[03:25.42] |
Ultimate in good design |
[03:27.13] |
And this is why it caught the eye |
[03:30.35] |
A king would stop and stare |
[03:33.29] |
And when Joseph tried it on |
[03:35.98] |
He knew his sheepskin days were gone |
[03:39.38] |
Such a dazzling coat of many colours |
[03:42.86] |
How he loved his coat of many colours |
[03:46.15] |
In a class above the rest |
[03:49.22] |
It even went well with his vest |
[03:52.61] |
Such a stunning coat of many colours |
[03:55.94] |
How he loved his coat of many colours |
[03:59.27] |
It was red and yellow and green and |
[04:02.56] |
Brown and blue |
[04:05.90] |
Joseph's brothers weren't |
[04:08.18] |
Too pleased with what they saw |
[04:09.47] |
We have never liked him |
[04:11.78] |
All that much before |
[04:12.63] |
And now this coat |
[04:13.45] |
Has got our goat |
[04:15.72] |
We feel life is unfair |
[04:18.60] |
And when Joseph graced the scene |
[04:21.50] |
His brothers turned a shade of green |
[04:24.84] |
His astounding clothing took the biscuit |
[04:28.06] |
Quite the smoothest person in the district |
[04:31.34] |
I look handsome, I look smart |
[04:34.54] |
I am a walking work of art |
[04:37.81] |
Such a dazzling coat of many colours |
[04:41.10] |
How I love my coat of many colours |
[04:44.86] |
It was red and yellow and green and brown |
[04:48.34] |
And scarlet and black and ochre and peach |
[04:51.51] |
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn |
[04:54.58] |
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve |
[04:57.33] |
And cream and crimson and silver and rose |
[05:01.37] |
And azure and lemon and russet and grey |
[05:04.36] |
And purple and white and pink and orange |
[05:07.60] |
And red and yellow and green and brown and |
[05:11.04] |
Scarlet and black and ochre and peach |
[05:14.25] |
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn |
[05:17.35] |
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve |
[05:20.53] |
And cream and crimson and silver and rose |
[05:23.54] |
And azure and lemon and russet and grey |
[05:26.73] |
And purple and white and pink and orange |
[05:30.06] |
And blue |
