My Name Is Jesus

Jesus and I, we met at schoolWhen I first saw him,
I thought what a foolA silly hippie, with dirty long hair
But judge the outside, no that isn't fair
(CHORUS)
Hello, hello, my name is Jesus
Yes, that's what he said
Hello, hello, my name is Jesus
Don't you believe that?
Jesus and I became close friends
We smoked pot and played in several bands
When I first saw him, I thought what a fool
But now I know that he is really cool
Jesus told me he didn't like his name
People were laughing, everywhere he came
And at one day he changed his name
From now on Jesus was Mary-Jane
