Erzählerin:

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



Erzählerin & 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



Erzählerin:

Now into Joseph's prison cell

Were flung two very frigthened men



Bäcker & 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



Erzählerin & Ensemble:

Both men were servants of Pharao the King

Both in the doghouse for doing their thing



Erzählerin:

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



Erzählerin: 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 bit 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



Erzählerin:

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 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

Shal 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

Shal 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

Go, go, go Joseph you know what they say

Hang on now Joseph you'll make it some day

Shal 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

Shal la la Joseph you're doing fine

You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time



Erzählerin:

Ahead of your time
