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

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 junior

i have to take the ferry
to cross the 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

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 junior

one day when i was home
i heard a mighty r oar
there were a thousand people
right outside the door
help us, jesus, help us!
came the cheering from the mob
but then they got a look at me
oh nuts, it´s only bob

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 junior

he died upon the cross
i thought that i was free
finally people would get to know
me for me
(hi bob, hi judas!)
this was my big chance
to finally get ahead
the next thing you know
he´s rising from the dead

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 junior

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 junior

a-bob
