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

Joseph:
