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

Hey dreamer, don't be so upset

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 out on top

[NARRATOR]

Now into Joseph's prison cell

Were flung two very frightened men

[BAKER, BUTLER]

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

[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 butler, 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 butler, trembling took the floor

Nervously he spoke of what he saw

[BUTLER]

There I was standing in front of a vine

I picked 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 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

[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 say I saw

It's just that I have not been wrong before

[NARRATOR, ENSEMBLE]

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 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, 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
