Good Caiaphas
The council waits for you
The Pharisees
And priests are here for you
Ah, gentlemen
You know why we are here
We've not much time
And quite a problem here
Hosanna, superstar
Hosanna, superstar
Hosanna, superstar
Hosanna, superstar
Listen to that howling mob of blockheads in the street
A trick or two with lepers and the whole town's on its feet
He is dangerous
Jesus Christ superstar
He is dangerous
That man is in town right now to whip up some support
A rabble-rousing mission that I think we must abort
He is dangerous
Jesus Christ superstar
He is dangerous
Look, Caiaphas, they're right outside our yard
Quick, Caiaphas, go call the Roman guard
No, wait!
We need a more permanet solution to our problem
What then to do about Jesus of Nazareth
Miracle wonderman, hero of fools
No riots, no army, no fighting, no slogans
Infantile sermons the multitude drools
We dare not leave him to his own devices
His half-witted fans will get out of control
But how can we stop him, his glamor increases by leaps every minute
He's top of the poll
I see bad things aising
The crowd crown him king which the Romans would ban
I see blood and destruction
Our elimination because of one man
Blood and destruction because of one man
Because, because, because of one man
Our elimination because of one man
Because, because, because of one, 'cause of one, 'cause of one man
What then to do about this Jesus mania
How do we deal with the carpenter king
Where do we start with a man who is bigger
Than John was when John did his baptism thing
Fools you have no perception
The stakes we are gambling are frighteningly high
We must crush him completely
So like John before him, this Jesus must die
For the sake of the nation, this Jesus must die
Must die, must die, this Jesus must die
So like John before him, this Jesus must die
Must die, must die, this Jesus must, Jesus must, Jesus must die
