[Verse 1]
If Jesus had a sister
Would she bring him down to earth?
Say “Jesus, I’m your sister
I can say for what it’s worth
You might find immortality
But what’s the good of that to you?
Your father is a carpenter
Why don’t you get a trade too?”
[Verse 2]
The authorities won’t tolerate
These claims he tends to make
Calls himself a Messiah
When he’s assumed to be a fake
[Chorus]
If Jesus had a sister
She’d say “Get real, Mister!”
[Verse 3]
Of course he has a mother
And though she’s very nice
She never seems to offer
Any sensible advice
If Jesus had a sister
She might put up a fight
If Jesus had a sister
Would she bring him down to earth?
Say “Jesus, I’m your sister
I can say for what it’s worth
You might find immortality
But what’s the good of that to you?
Your father is a carpenter
Why don’t you get a trade too?”
[Verse 2]
The authorities won’t tolerate
These claims he tends to make
Calls himself a Messiah
When he’s assumed to be a fake
[Chorus]
If Jesus had a sister
She’d say “Get real, Mister!”
[Verse 3]
Of course he has a mother
And though she’s very nice
She never seems to offer
Any sensible advice
If Jesus had a sister
She might put up a fight
