[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
