Jesus Christ Superstar - Strange Thing Mystifying Lyrics

Original Broadway production
Jesus Christ Superstar the Musical - Strange Thing Mystifying Song


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!
