When Jesus Came To Play |
| I was in my watering-hole with some ugly friends of mine |
| When he door came off its hinges like a cork from fizzy wine |
| He said, My name is Jesus: I’m the leader of the band |
| Got to set up my equipment, if you boys can lend a hand |
| Oh yeah. |
| When Jesus came to play |
| He set that bandstand jumping. |
| Yeah, and he cranked it up so loud |
| And he moved up to the microphone: had the attention of the crowd |
| He said, My name is Jesus: going to turn your head around |
| I’m going to make this easy. |
| Got no time to mess around |
| Oh yeah. |
| When Jesus came to play |
| I got no twelve disciples, and I got no cross to bear |
| If you thought they had me crucified, I guess you weren’t there |
| Oh yeah. |
| When Jesus came to play. |
| When Jesus came… |
| He sang about three or four numbers, but we’d heard it all before |
| We boys were getting restless: no girls were moving on the floor |
| Those parables, they were merciless and the tables overturned |
| And there were no minor miracles |
| But false prophets they were burned |
| Well, maybe he was Jesus; |
| But his hair could have used a comb |
| Long before he hit the last notes, we boys had all gone home |
| Oh yeah. |
| When Jesus came to play |
| Oh Jesus, is it really you? |
