Jacob and Sons Songtext
von Andrew Lloyd Webber

Way, way back many centuries ago
Not long after the Bible began
Jacob lived in the land of Canaan
A fine example of a family man

Jacob, Jacob and sons
Depended on farming to earn their keep
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Spent all of the day in the fields with sheep


Reuben was the eldest of the children of Israel
With Simeon and Levi, the next in line
Naphtali and Issachar with Asher and Dan
Zebulun and Gad took the total to nine

Jacob, Jacob and sons
Benjamin and Judah, which leaves only one
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Joseph, Jacob′s favorite son

Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jacob, Jacob, Jacob and sons
