Original Songs by Kent Newsome

Reverse Jesus


Billy read the bible
When he was just a kid
He really dug Jesus
And the groovy things he did
He said when I grow up
I'm gonna be like Jesus too
Cause if you're like Jesus
There's nothing you can't do

But Billy got a bit confused
By the stories that he read
He turns sick people into fish
And fish into cornbread
He turns wine into water
And water into catfood
He says if Jesus was a carpenter
Well Karen was one too

He says it's hard to walk on water
If you always part the sea
And that being like Jesus just ain't
All it's cracked up to be
He says if Barbara Hershey
Is really Mary Magdeline
He'd trade 33 years as Jesus
For just one night of sin

Now that Billy is a holy man
He gave up drinking beer
It was the high life that cost Jesus
Those 17 lost years
Biblical scholars debate
Just where did Jesus go
Billy says he was at Gruene Hall
Drinking and playing dominos
