Go Go Go Joseph Tab

by Andrew Lloyd Webber


                
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

                                 
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

                
now into joseph's prison cell
                 
were flung two very frightened men
                  
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

                                   
both men were servants of pharaoh the king
both in the doghouse for doing their thing
                        
one was a baker, a cook in his prime
                             
one was a butler, the jeeves of his time

              
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

                              
first the butler, trembling, took the floor
                      
nervously he spoke of what he saw

                                
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

               
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

                        
next the baker rose to tell his dream
                       
hoping it would have a similar theme

                                  
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

              
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

                                  
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
