Verse 1
Bb
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
F
no one here for you at all
I said Jesus, I said Jesus,
Bb

We could dribble our way
down a courtship
F
Get married for a little while
I would shoot a little love inside your basket,
mama
Bb
And in a little while we'll have a child
Verse 3
Bb
He'd be a little boy, he'd be a little boy
F
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
Bb
Because they're saying to him
Verse 4
Bb
Jesus, they'll say Jesus,
they'll say Jesus Christ you're tall

I bet some day,
Bb
at least some day I hope he finds a basketball

will come and sign him to

the meadow larks
And then someday,
Bb
someday he'll play as good as Van Dyke Parks
Verse 5
Bb
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
Bb
he'll measure six foot four
Each generation as the time goes by
will grow and grow until
F
they reach the sky
And finally someday, I say someday,
they'll bump into God and He'll say "Hi"
Bb
Then He'll say, Jesus, Jesus look at 'em,
F
Jesus Christ they are tall
Jesus, just look at 'em, Jesus, hey,
Bb
you guys want to play a little basketball?

There'll be a court up in Heaven
Gm
F
softer than the softest cloud
They can play all day,
they can play all night,
Bb
they can play as long as they can play
Be a half- court game until
the other boys
F
show, it'll be a full court game and then
Bb
Then it's over with your high score,
F
it'll be over and then "Amen"
