Those Canaan Days

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 splendor of Canaan's cuisine 
Our extravagant, elegant soirées 
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 they go? 
Eh bien, raise your berets 
Simeon 
To those Canaan days 
Brothers 
Eh bien, raise your berets 
To those Canaan days
