I was in my watering hole
With some ugly friends of mine
When the door came off its hinges
Like the cork from fizzy wine
He said, my name is Jesus
I′m the leader of the band
Got to set up my equipment
If you boys can lend a hand
Oh yeah, when Jesus came to play
He set that bandstand jumping
Yeah, he cranked it up so loud
And he moved up to the microphone
Had the attention of the crowd
He said, my name is Jesus
I'm going to turn your head around
I′m going to make this easy
Got no time to mess around
Oh yeah, when Jesus came to play
I've got no twelve disciples
And I've got no cross to bear
If you thought they had me crucified
I guess you weren′t there
Oh yeah, when Jesus came to play
He sang about three or four numbers
Yeah, but we′d heard it all before
We boys were getting restless
No girls were moving on the floor
Those parables, they were merciless
Yeah, and the tables overturned
And there were no minor miracles
But false prophets they were burned
Well, maybe he was Jesus
But his hair could have used a comb
Long before he hit the last note
We boys had all gone home
Oh yeah, when Jesus came to play
