JESUS' BROTHER BOB
by The Arrogant Worms

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

CHORUS:
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 Jr.

I have to pay the ferry to cross to 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

CHORUS

One day when I was home, I heard a mighty roar (roar)
There were a thousand people right outside the door
"Help us Jesus, help us" came the cheering from the mob
Then they got a look at me: "Aah, nuts, it's only Bob"

CHORUS

He died up on the cross, I thought that I was free
Finally, people would get to know me for me ("Hi Bob", "Hey Judas", "Hey")
This was my big chance to finally get ahead
The next thing you know, he's rising from the dead

CHORUS

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 Jr.

Ahhhhhhh-Bob [to the tune of "Amen"]
