Lyrics
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.
Hey, dreamer! don’t be so upset.
Hey, Joseph! you’re not beaten yet.
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
The prison walls were wet and black, his chains were heavy, weighed him down.
A candle was his only light, the hungry rats the only sound.
Hey, dreamer! don’t be so upset.
Hey, Joseph! you’re not beaten yet.
Go, go, go Joseph, you know what they say
Hang on now Joseph, you’ll make it some day
Don’t give up Joseph, wait and you’ll see
We’ve been outside and you’re on the marquee
Now into Joseph’s prison cell
Were flung two very frightened men
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.
Both men were servants of Pharaoh the king.
Both in the doghouse for doing their thing.
One was a baker, a cook in his prime,
One was a butler, the jeeves of his time.
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.
First the butler, trembling, took the floor
Nervously he spoke of what he saw.
There I was standing in front of a vine,
I picked some grapes and I crushed them to wine.
I gave them to Pharaoh, who drank from my cup.
I tried to interpret but I had to give up.
You will soon be free my friend,
So do not worry anymore.
The king will let you out of here,
You’ll buttle as you did before.
Next the baker rose to tell his dream,
Hoping it would have a similar theme.
There I was standing with baskets of bread,
High in the sky I saw birds overhead
Who flew to my baskets and ate every slice.
Give me the message - like his would be nice.
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.
Go, go Joe.
Go, go Joe.
Go, go Joe.
Go, go Joe.
Go, go, go Joseph, you know what they say
Hang on now Joseph, you’ll make it some day
Sha-la-la Joseph, you’re still in your prime
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
Sha-la-la Joseph, you’re still in your prime
You and your dreamcoat, ahead of your time
Go, go, go Joe!
Go, go, go Joe!
Go, go, go Joe!
Go, go, go Joe!
Go, go, go, go Joe!
Go, go, go, go,
Go, go, go Joseph, you know what they say
Hang on now Joseph, you’ll make it some day
Sha-la-la Joseph, you’re still in your prime
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
Sha-la-la Joseph, you’re still in your prime
You and your dreamcoat, ahead of your time
Ahead of your time.
Ahead of my time.
Ahead of your time.
Ahead of my time.
Ahead of your time.
Ahead of my time.
Ahead of your time.
Ahead of my time.
Ahead of your time.
Ahead of my time.
Ahead of your time.
Ahead of my/your time.
