Andrew Lloyd Webber
King Herod’s Song
[HEROD]
Jesus, I am overjoyed to meet you face to face
You've been getting quite a name all around the place
Healing cripples, raising from the dead
Now I understand you're God
At least that's what you've said
So, you are the Christ, you're the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're divine, change my water into wine
That's all you need do, then I'll know it's all true
C'mon, king of the Jews!
Jesus, you just won't believe the hit you've made around here
You are all we talk about, you’'e the wonder of the year!
Oh, what a pity if it's all a lie
Still, I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try
So if you are the Christ, yes, the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're no fool, walk across my swimming pool
If you do that for me, then I'll let you go free
C'mon, king of the Jews!
I only ask what I'd ask any superstar
What is it that you have got that puts you where you are?
Oh ho ho, I am waiting, yes, I'm a captive fan
I'm dying to be shown that you are not just any man
So, if you are the Christ, yes, the great Jesus Christ
Feed my household with this bread, you can do it on your head!
Or has something gone wrong? Jesus, why do you take so long?
Oh c'mon, king of the Jews!
Hey! Aren't you scared of me Christ? Mr. Wonderful Christ!
You're a joke, you're not the Lord
You are nothing but a fraud!
Take him away, he's got nothing to say!
Get out, you king of the
Get out, king of the
Oh get out you king of the Jews
Get out of here
You, you, get out of here you
Get out of my life!
