REUBEN
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 boulevard together
No hint of this tragic decline
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
REUBEN
Do you remember those wonderful parties?
BROTHERS, spoken
Uh huh
REUBEN
The splendor of Canaan's cuisine
Those extravagant, elegant soirées
The gayest the Bible has seen
BROTHER, spoken
C'est vrai, Reuben
REUBEN
It's funny, but since we lost Joseph
BROTHERS, spoken
Joseph
REUBEN
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
BROTHER, spoken
Impossible!
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
REUBEN
It's funny, but since we lost Joseph
BROTHERS, spoken
Joseph
REUBEN
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
To those Canaan days!
