Joseph

Scenes from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat...



Any Dream Will Do

I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain
To see for certain what I thought I knew
Far far away, someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do

I wore my coat with golden lining
Bright colors shining, wonderful and new
And in the east, the dawn was breaking
And the world was waking
Any dream will do

A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight
The colors faded into darkness
I was left alone

May I return to the beginning
The light is dimming, and the dream is too
The world and I, we are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do

Give me my colored coat, my amazing colored coat!
Give me my colored coat, my amazing colored coat!






Go, Go, Go Joseph

Narrator:
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

First Man:
Hey dreamer, don't be so upset

Second Man:
Hey Joseph, you're not beaten yet

Narrator & Ensemble:
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 at on top

Narrator:
Now into Joseph's prison cell
Were flung two very frightened men

Baker & Buttler:
We don't think 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

Narrator & Ensemble:
Both men were servants of Pharaoh the King
Both in the doghouse for doing their thing

Narrator:
One was a baker, a cook in his prime
One was a buttler, the Jeeves of his time

Joseph:
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

Narrator:
First the buttler, trembling took the floor
Nervously he spoke of what he saw

Buttler:
There I was standing in front of a vine
I took some grapes and I crushed them to wine
I gave some to Pharaoh who drank from my cup
I tried to interpret but I had to give up

Joseph:
You will soon be free my friend
So do not worry any more
The king will let you out of here,
You'll buttle as you did before

Narrator:
Next the baker rose to tell his dream
Hoping it would have a similar theme

Baker:
There I was standing with baskets of breads
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

Joseph:
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

Ensemble:
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 doing fine
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 doing fine
You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time

Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
Go, 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 doing fine
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 doing fine
You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time

Narrator:
Ahead of your time

Joseph:
Ahead of my time

Narrator:
Ahead of your time

Joseph:
Ahead of my

All:
Time
