Jesus Christ You’re Tall

Lyrics

[Refrain] 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 [Verse] 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 a 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 [Refrain] Jesus, they'll say, Jesus, they'll say, Jesus Christ, he's tall I bet someday, at least someday, I hope he finds a basketball So maybe a big scout from a big town team will come and sign him to the Meadowlarks And then someday, someday, he'll play as good as Van Dyke Parks [Verse] He'll be famous, he'll get married 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" [Refrain] And then he'll say, Jesus, Jesus, look at 'em Jesus Christ they're all tall Jesus, just look at 'em, Jesus Hey, you guys want to play a little basketball? [Bridge] There'll 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, and then, Amen [Outro] Jesus, oh Jesus Sweet Jesus Christ, you're tall No, no, nobody, no, no, no, nobody No, no, nobody 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 all play now You can play as long as you like You're in heaven, now, Heaven That's the hell of it, baby, all night long All night long, all night long All night long, all night long All night long, all night long All night long, all night long
