If you haven't heard of me

I wouldn't be surprised

I bet you know my relatives

Their names will never die

My mother is a saint

And my brother is a god

But all i am is jesus' brother bob



Jesus' brother bob, jesus' brother bob

A nobody relative of the son of god

If only i'd been born just a little sooner

I'd be more than the brother of god junior



I have to take the ferry

To cross the galilee

But not my brother

No not him

He walks across for free

I finally get to work

'bout a quarter after nine

Already he's turning water into wine



Jesus' brother bob, jesus' brother bob

A nobody relative of the son of god

If only i'd been born just a little sooner

I'd be more than the brother of god junior



One day when i was home

I heard a mighty r oar

There were a thousand people

Right outside the door

Help us, jesus, help us!

Came the cheering from the mob

But then they got a look at me

Oh nuts, it's only bob



Jesus' brother bob, jesus' brother bob

A nobody relative of the son of god

If only i'd been born just a little sooner

I'd be more than the brother of god junior



He died upon the cross

I thought that i was free

Finally people would get to know

Me for me

(hi bob, hi!)

This was my big chance

To finally get ahead

The next thing you know

He's rising from the dead



Jesus' brother bob, jesus' brother bob

A nobody relative of the son of god

If only i'd been born just a little sooner

I'd be more than the brother of god junior



Everybody!



Jesus' brother bob, jesus' brother bob

A nobody relative of the son of god

If only i'd been born just a little sooner

I'd be more than the brother of god junior



A-bob
