Harry Nilsson
[Intro] [Verse 1] Jesus I said Jesus 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 one here for you at all I said Jesus I said Jesus I said Jesus Christ you’re tall [Verse 2] 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’ll have a child He’ be little boy he’ be little boy But he’ll get taller as the time goes by He’ be little boy he’ be little boy But pretty soon he’ll hear the other boys cry Because they’re saying to him [Verse 3] Jesus they’ll say Jesus they’ll 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 [Verse 4] 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 say someday They’ll bump into God and He’ll say "Hi" [Verse 5] Then He’ll say Jesus Jesus look at ’em Jesus Christ they are tall Jesus just look at ’em Jesus hey You guys want to play a little basketball?
