I said 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.

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, 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
Jesus, they'd say Jesus, they'd 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 ..
