Jesus I said Jesus I said Jesus Christ you're tall
|
I bet nobody I bet nobody I bet nobody wanted to dance with you at all
|
I said Jesus, I said Jesus there hardly ain't no room here for you at all
|
I said Jesus. I said Jesus I said Jesus Christ you're tall
|
|
Well we could dribble our way down a courtship
|
Get married for a little while
|
I would shoot a little love inside your basket mama and in a little while we'd have a child
|
He'd be a little boy, he'd be a little boy
|
|
But he'll get taller as the time goes by
|
He'd be a little boy, he'd be a little boy
|
But pretty soon he'll hear the other boys cry
|
Because they're saying to him
|
|
Jesus they'd say Jesus they'd say Jesus Christ you're tall
|
I bet some day at least some day I hope he finds a basketball
|
So maybe a big scout from a big town team will come and sign him to the meadow larks
|
And then someday. Someday he'll play as good as van dyke parks
|
|
He'll be famous he'll get married, he'll be happy,
|
He'll be happy with the girl next door
|
They'll have a little boy, they'll have a little boy but at birth he'll measure six foot four
|
Each generation as the time goes by
|
|
Will grow and grow until they reach the sky
|
And finally someday I said someday they'll bump into God
|
And he'll say "hi"
|
|
And then he'll say Jesus, Jesus look at 'em, Jesus Christ they're tall Jesus. Just look at 'em. Jesus
|
|
Hey' you guys want to play a little basketball
|
There will be a big court up in heaven
|
Softer than the softest cloud
|
|
They can play all day, they can play all night they can play as long as they can play
|
|
It'll be a half court game until the other boys show it'll be a full court game and then, when it's over we'll hear a high score.
|
It'll be over, then the end amen hey' Jesus, oh Jesus. Sweet Jesus Christ you're tall no nobody. No no nobody
|
|
You guys wanna play a little basketball
|
|
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon Jesus
|
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon Lord
|
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon do a hook shot baby
|
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon shoot that ball
|
C'mon Jesus let's get together
|
|
I loved you a long time ago
|
Way up in heaven, up in heaven, that's the hell of it baby all night long
|
