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
Come on, king of the Jews

Jesus you just won't believe
The hit you've made around here
You are all we talk about
You're 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
Come on, king of the Jews

(short instrumental)

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 you head
Or has something gone wrong,
Jesus, why do you take so long
Aw, come on king of the Jews

Hey!
Aren't you scared of me Christ
Mister 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
