APOSTLES
What's the buzz?
Tell me what's a-happening. (Repeat 8 times)
JESUS
Why should you want to know?
Don't you mind about the future?
Don't you try to think ahead?
Save tomorrow for tomorrow;
Think about today instead.
APOSTLES
What's the buzz?
Tell me what's happening. (Repeat many times)
JESUS
I could give you facts and figures.
Even give you plans and forecasts.
Even tell you where I'm going.
APOSTLES
When do we ride into Jerusalem? (Repeat many times)
JESUS
Why should you want to know?
Why are you obsessed with fighting
Times and fates you can't defy?
If you knew the path we're riding,
You'd understand it less than I.
APOSTLES
What's the buzz?
Tell me what's happening. (Repeat many times)
MARY MAGDALENE
Let me try to cool down your face a bit. (Repeat 5 times)
JESUS
Mary that is good,
While you prattle through your supper,
Where and when and who and how.
She alone has tried to give me
What I need right here and now.
APOSTLES
What's the buzz?
Tell me what's happening. (Repeat many times)
STRANGE THINGS MYSTIFYING
JUDAS
It seems to me a strange thing, mystifying
That a man like you can waste his time on women of her kind.
SIMON
Hey, cool it man.
JUDAS
Yes, I can understand that she amuses,
But to let her kiss you, stroke your hair, that's hardly in your line.
It's not that I object to her profession,
But she doesn't fit in well with what you teach and say.
It doesn't help us if you're inconsistent.
hey only need a small excuse to put us all away.
JESUS
Who are you to criticise her?
Who are you to despise her?
Leave her, leave her, let her be now.
Leave her, leave her, she's with me now.
If your slate is clean, then you can throw stones.
If your slate is not, then leave her alone.
I'm amazed that men like you can be so shallow, thick and slow
There is not a man among you who know or cares if I come or go.
ALL (save Judas and Jesus)
No, you're wrong!
You're very wrong!
No, you're wrong!
You're very wrong!
No, you're wrong!
You're very wrong!
No, you're wrong!
You're very wrong!
How can you say that?
How can you say that?
How can you say that?
How can you say that?
JESUS
Not one, not one of you!
