Those Canaan Days [Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat]
Simeon
Do you remember the good years in Canaan? The summers were endlessly gold The fields were a patchwork of clover The winters were never too cold We'd stroll down the boulevards together And averything round us was fine Jacob
Now the fileds are dead and bare No joie de vivre anywhere Et maintenant we drink a bitter wine Brothers
Those Canaan days we used to know Where have they gone, where did they go? Eh bien, raise your berets To those Canaan days Simeon
Do you remember those wonderful parties? The splendour of Canaan's cuisine Our extravagant, elegant soirees The gayest the Bible has seen It's funny but since we lost Joseph We've gone to the other extreme No-one comes to dinner now We only eat them anyhow I even find I'm missing Joseph's dreams
Brothers
Those Canaan days we used to know Where have they gone, where did they go? Eh bien, raise your berets To those Canaan days Simeon
It's funny but since we lost Joseph We've gone to the other extreme Perhaps we all misjudged the lad Perhaps he wasn't quite that bad And how we miss his entertaining dreams Brothers
Those Canaan days we used to know Where have they gone, where did they go? Eh bien, raise your berets Simeon
