[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
