JUDAS
On Thursday night you’ll find him where you want
Far from the crowds in the garden of Gethsemane
CHOIR
Well done Judas
Good old Judas
THE LAST SUPPER
Thursday night. The Last Supper
APOSTLES
Look at all my trials and tribulations
Sinking in a gentle pool of wine
Don’t disturb me now I can see the answers
Till this evening is this morning life is fine
Always hoped that I’d be an apostle
Knew that I would make it if I tried
Then when we retire we can write the gospels
So they’ll still talk about us when we’ve died.
JESUS
The end…
Is just a little harder when brought about by friends
For all you care this wine could be my blood.
For all you care this bread could be my body
The end!
This is my blood you drink
This is my body you eat
If you would remember me when you eat and drink…
I must be mad thinking I’ll be remembered — yes
I must be out of my head!
Look at your blank faces! My name will mean nothing
Ten minutes after I’m dead!
One of you denies me
One of you betrays me
APOSTLES
Not I! Who would! Impossible!
JESUS
Peter will deny me in just a few hours
Three times will deny me — and that’s not all I see
One of you denying– one of my twelve chosen
Will leave to betray me –
JUDAS
Cut out the dramatics! You know very well who—
J ESUS
Why don’t you go do it?
JUDAS
You want me to do it!
JE SUS
Hurry, they are waiting
JUDAS
If you knew why I do it…
JESUS
I don’t care why you do it!
JUDAS
To think I admired you
For now I despise you
JESUS
You liar — you Judas
JUDAS
You want me to do it!
What if I just stayed here
And ruined your ambition?
Christ you deserve it!
JESUS
Hurry you fool, hurry and go,
Save me your speeches, I don’t want to know — Go!
APOSTLES
Look t all my trials and tribulations
Sinking in a gentle pool of wine
What’s that in the bread it’s gone to my head
Till this morning is this evening life is fine
Always hoped that I’d be an apostle
Knew that I would make it if I tried
Then when we retire we can write the gospels
So they’ll all talk about us when we’ve died
