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
Br?der:
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 splendor 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`d only eat them anyhow
I even find I`m missing Joseph`s dreams
Br?der:
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
Br?der:
Those Canaan days we used to know
Where have they gone, where did they go?
Eh bien, raise your berets
Simeon:
To those Canaan days
Br?der:
Eh bien, raise your berets
To those Canaan days
