[Judas]

Now if I help you it matters that you see

These sordid kind of things are

Comming hard to me.

It's taken me some time to work out

what to do.

I weighed the whole thing out before I came

to you.



I have no thought at all about my own reward.

I really didn't come here of my own accord.

Just don't say I'm

Damned for all time.



I came because I had to. I'm the one who saw.

Jesus can't control it like he did before.

And furthermore I know that Jesus thinks so, too.

Jesus wouldn't mind that I am here with you.



I have no thought at all about my own reward.

I really didn't come here of my own accord.

Just don't say I'm

Damned for all time.



Annas your a friend, a worldly man, and wise.

Caiaphus, my friend, I know you sympathize.

But why are we the prophets?

Why are we the ones who see the sad solution,

Know what must be done?



I have no thought at all about my own reward.

I really didn't come here of my own accord.

Just don't say I'm

Damned

For all time.



[Annas]

Cut the protesting, forget the excuses.

We want informatin. Get up off the floor.



[Caiaphus]

We have the papers we need to arrest him.

You know his movements. We know the law.



[Annas]

Your help in this matter won't go unrewarded.



[Caiaphus]

We'll pay you in silver, cash on the nail.

We just need to know where the soldiers

can find him.



[Annas]

With no crowd around him.



[Caiaphus]

Then we can't fail.



[Judas]

I don't need your blood money.



[Caiaphus]

Oh, that doesn't matter. Our expenses are good.



[Judas]

I don't want your blood money.



[Annas]

But you might as well take it.

We think that you should.



[Caiaphus]

Think of the things you can do with that money.

Choose any charity, give to the poor.

We've noted your motives.

We've noted your feelings.

This isn't blood money, its a fee nothing...

fee nothing...

fee nothing more.



[Judas]

On Thursday night

You'll find him where you want him.

Far from the crowd, in the Garden of Gethsemane.



[Chorus]

Well done Judas.

Good old Judas.
