Those Canaan Days

Song	Those Canaan Days
Artist	Original Broadway Cast
Album	Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat

	(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 everything 'round us was fine
	(Jacob)
	Now the fields 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 soirés
	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'd 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--did they go?
	Eh bien, raise your berets
	(Simeon)
	To those Canaan days
	(Brothers)
	Eh bien, raise your berets
	To those Canaan days
