If you haven't heard of me
I wouldn't be surprised
I bet you know my relatives
Their names will never die
My mother is a saint
And my brother is a god
But all I am is Jesus' brother Bob
Jesus' brother Bob, Jesus' brother Bob
A nobody relative of the son of God
If only I'd been born just a little sooner
I'd be more than the brother of God Jr.
I have to pay the ferry
To cross the Galilee
But not my brother
No, not him
He walks across for free
I finally get to work
'Bout a quarter after nine
Already, he's turning water into wine
Jesus' brother Bob, Jesus' brother Bob
A nobody relative of the son of God
If only I'd been born just a little sooner
I'd be more than the brother of God Jr.
One day when I was home
I heard a mighty roar
There were a thousand people
Right outside the door
"Help us, Jesus, help us!"
Came the cheering from the mob
Then they got a look at me
"Oh nuts, it's only Bob"
Jesus' brother Bob, Jesus' brother Bob
A nobody relative of the son of God
If only I'd been born just a little sooner
I'd be more than the brother of God Jr.
He died upon the cross
I thought that I was free
Finally, people would get to know
Me for me
(Hi Bob) Hi!
This was my big chance
To finally get ahead
The next thing you know
He's rising from the dead
Jesus' brother Bob, Jesus' brother Bob
A nobody relative of the son of God
If only I'd been born just a little sooner
I'd be more than the brother of God Jr.
Everyone!
Jesus' brother Bob, Jesus' brother Bob
A nobody relative of the son of God
If only I'd been born just a little sooner
I'd be more than the brother of God Jr.
Ahh-hah-hah
Bob
