In the bible
There's a story
That everybody knows
It's about Joseph
And his brothers
And a suit of clothes
No it wasn't a suit
It was a coat
And a solid one to boot
That started all the trouble
Just because little Joe looked to all loot, Zoot!
Jacob was the papa of a dozen sons
A dozen sons
A dozen sons
Jacob was the papa of a dozen sons
And little Joe was the favorite one
Jacob made for Joseph a real sharp coat
A striped coat, that's right, I quote
Jacob made for Joseph a real sharp coat
And the other brothers didn't have none
One night little Joe have a heavy date
He said "Pops don't wait cause I'll be home rather late"
But he didn't come home
He was conked on the dome
By his brothers I'm told
For a slave he was sold
Oh ho, little gate mouth Joe
Pharaoh's daughter saw Joseph
In the marketplace
She made haste 'cause she had good taste
She bought him for a _____ and brought him in
And what do you know
She got him both the coat and the fellow Joe
(Joe was the brother but the other brother cut him down)
Pharaoh's daughter saw Joseph
In the marketplace
She made haste 'cause she had good taste
She bought him for a _____ and brought him in
And what do you know
She got him both the coat and the fellow Joe
Joe was the brother but the other brother cut him down
