Strange Thing Mystifying

Andrew Lloyd Webber

JUDAS

It seems to me a strange thing, mystifying

That a man like you can waste his time on such a concubine

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 are inconsistent

They 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 knows or cares if I came or go

ALL (save Judas)

No you're wrong!You're very

wrong!...

How can you say that?...

JESUS

Not one - not one of you!
