Go, go, go Joseph Lyrics

(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.



(1. Mann)

Hey dreamer, don't be so upset.



(2. Mann)

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 frightened 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 pharaoh, the king,

both in the doghouse for doing their thing.



(Erzählerin)

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.



(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, 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 butle as you did before.



(Erzählerin)

Next the baker rose to tell his dream

hoping it would have a similar theme.



(Bäcker)

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.

Now 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!

Shalala 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!

Shalala 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!

Shalala 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!

Shalala Joseph, you're doing fine,

you and your dreamcoat ahead of your time!



(Erzählerin)

Ahead of your time...



(Joseph)

Ahead of my time...



(Erzählerin)

Ahead of your time...



(Joseph)

Ahead of my...



(Alle)

time!
