Lyrics:
MONEYCHANGERS AND MERCHANTS
Roll on up Jerusalem,
Come on in Jerusalem,
Sunday here we go again,
Live in me Jerusalem.
Here you live Jerusalem,
Here you breathe Jerusalem,
While your temple still survives,
You at least are still alive.
I got things you won't believe,
Name your pleasure I will sell.
I can fix your wildest needs,
I got heaven and I got hell.
Roll on up, for my price is down.
Come on in for the best in town.
Take your pick of the finest wine.
Lay your bets on this bird of mine.
What you see is what you get.
No one's been disappointed yet.
Don't be scared give me a try,
There is nothing you can't buy.
Name your price, I got everything.
Hurry it's going fast.
Borrow cash on the finest terms.
Hurry now while stocks still last.
Roll on up Jerusalem,
Come on in Jerusalem,
Sunday here we go again,
Live in me Jerusalem.
Here you live Jerusalem,
Here you breathe Jerusalem,
While your temple still survives,
You at least are still alive.
I got things you won't believe,
Name your pleasure I will sell.
I can fix your
(fade, screaming)
JESUS
My temple should be a house of prayer,
But you have made it a den of thieves.
Get out! Get out!
My time is almost through.
Little left to do.
After all, I've tried for three years.
Seems like thirty, seems like thirty.
CROWD
See my eyes, I can hardly see.
See me stand, I can hardly walk.
I believe you can make me whole.
See my tongue, I can hardly talk.
See my skin, I'm a mass of blood.
See my legs, I can hardly stand.
I believe you can make me well.
See my purse, I'm a poor, poor man.
Will you touch, will you mend me Christ?
Won't you touch, will you heal me Christ?
Will you kiss, you can cure me Christ?
Won't you kiss, won't you pay me Christ?
See my eyes, I can hardly see.
See me stand, I can hardly walk.
I believe you can make me whole.
See my tongue, I can hardly talk.
See my skin, I'm a mass of blood.
See my legs, I can hardly stand.
I believe you can make me well.
See my purse, I'm a poor, poor man.
Will you touch, will you mend me Christ?
Won't you touch, will you heal me Christ?
Will you kiss, you can cure me Christ?
Won't you kiss, won't you pay me Christ?
(Repeat)
JESUS
There's too many of you...Don't push me.
There's too little of me...Don't crowd me.
Leave me alone!

I love Jesus'"GET OUT!!!" Christ is my lord and savior. BTW, here is a fun fact about God that you may not know. God experiances time totally differant than the way we do. God experiances every second of every minute of every day all at the same time. Sounds complicated? Well, that's God for you!

I always felt Kinda weird having the hots for Jesus lol.

The actor's name is Ted Neely, and he snubbed me in The AZ JCS performance because of the basketball playoffs at the time, but a great actor non the less. A funny story.

I saw this entire movie as a young child, and not being raised in a strict Christian household, it had a very strong impact on me. I have a copy of the original Broadway soundtrack (with Murry Head of One Night In Bancock fame) and listen to it every Easter. If this is available on DVD, I will be buying it, regardless of cost. Oh, and FYI, I remain a pagan...

35 years later and this film still holds up like a champ! something special was happening in the 70's. still, i don't see what was so wrong with having a postcard rack in the mix. lol

I kinda think there was a hidden message in the mirrors myself. ~Ric~

I love the ... ( 2 weeks ago by Japcat21)

I love the symbolism in this scene, with the strippers and the guns showing the sin being showed in the temple at that time to our modern times.

now that you ... ( 2 weeks ago by ATHRUZEE)

now that you mention the mirrors, I think they were meant to show the sin inside each of us. Just my opinion though.

A metaphor:-) ~Ric~

This is a great and powerful scene, but I have a question. Wasn't all those thing they were selling stolen goods? Is that why Jesus was mad? I can understand him being mad about the prostitutes, though.

"My temple should be a house of prayer"...and nothing else, i think is the point he is making.

Ted Neeley is such an amazing singer!

Apart from Judas' Death, this is definitely my favourite scene of the whole movie.

I saw this yesterday and the Leper part gave me chills I loved it so much!

I read somewhere that the leper who first says "See my purse, I'm a poor, poor man" is actually Carl Anderson.

I love the atmosphere for the temple scene... especially the rotating thing with the mirrors

does he play Jesus? if he does i saw him play jesus live!

i dont know herod part is pretty awesome

Is Carl Anderson ... ( 17 hours ago by thereefshark)

Is Carl Anderson the cripple who says "See my purse I'm a poor poor man" ? Is the one playing Judas supposed to play that cripple, because I swear there's other versions where they have a guy who sounds just like their Judas say that line (I mostly listen to CDs) So is it the same guy? Is their symbolism in that choice? Or was it made because of a limited number of cast members.
