King Herod's Song - UK 1996 / Musical "Jesus Christ Superstar"

Jesus, I am overjoyed to meet you face to face
You've been getting quite a name all around the place
Healing cripples, cute trick
Raising from the dead, ooh
And now I understand you're God
Well, 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, and I'll know it's all true
Come on, King of the Jews

Jesus, you just won't believe the hit you've made around here
You're all we talk about, 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, 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
Come on, King of the Jews
Hit it, boys!

I only ask the things I'd ask of any superstar
What is it that you have got that puts you where you are?
Oh, 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 could do it on your head
Or has something gone wrong? Why do you take so long?
Come on, you 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 you King of the
Oh, get out you King of the Jews!
Get out of here!
You gonna have to do better than that, boy
