"King Herod's Song" from

Jesus Christ Superstar (c) 1970



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

And now I understand you're God atleast

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 and I'll know that it's all true

C'mon King of the Jews



Jesus you just won't beleive the the hit you've made round here

You are all we talk about the wonder of the year

Oh what a pity if it's all a lie

Still I'm sure you could rock the cynics if you try

So you are the Christ you're 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 things I'd ask any superstar

What is it that you have got that puts you where you are?

I am wating yes I'm a captive fan

I am 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 you head

Or has something gone wrong Why do you take so long?

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

Yake him away - he's got nothing to say!

Get out you King of the Jews! Get ouf of my Life!
