[Priest]
Good Caiaphas
The council waits for you
The Pharisees and priests
Are here for you

[Caiaphas]
Ah gentlemen, you know why we are here
With not much time, and quite a problem here

[Crowd outside]
Hosanna! Superstar!

[Annas]
Listen to that howling mob
Of blockheads in the street
A trick or two with lepers
And the whole town's on its feet

[All]
He is dangerous! He is dangerous!

[Crowd]
Jesus Christ, Superstar
Tell us that you are who they say you are

[Priests]
He is dangerous, 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

[Crowd]
Jesus Christ, Superstar

[Priests]
He is dangerous
Look Caiaphas
They are right outside our yard
Quick Caiaphas
Go call the Roman guard

[Caiaphas]
No wait, we need a more permanent solution to our problem.

[Annas]
What shall we do about Jesus of Nazareth?
Miracle worker, pilgrim or fool

[Priest]
No riots, no Romans, no fighting, no slogans

[Caiaphas]
One thing to say for him, Jesus is cool

[Annas]
We dare not leave him to his own devices
His half-witted fans will get out of control

[Priest]
But how can we stop him, his glamour increases
With every minute, he's top of the pole

[Caiaphas]
I see bad things arising
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

[Voices]
What can we do about this Jesusmania?
How see
