lyrics

Did Jesus have a baby sister?
Was she bitter; was she sweet?
Did she wind up in a convent;
Did she end up...
On the street?
On the run, on the stage, did she dance?

DancinggirlDid he have a sister, a little baby sister—
Did Jesus have a sister?
Did they give her a chance?

And did he have a baby sister;
Could she speak out by and large?
Was she told by mother Mary,
“Ask your brother,
He’s in charge—
He’s the chief—
He’s the whipped cream on the cake.”

Did he have a sister, a little baby sister?
Did Jesus have a sister?
Did they give her a break?

VirginHer brother heard the announcement;
It was pretty big. pretty big, I guess.
But she got precious little notice in the local press.
Her mother was a virgin
When she carried him, carried him therein...
If the little girl came later,
Then was she conceived...
In sin?
And in sorrow?
And in suffering
And in shame?

Did he have a sister, a little baby sister?
Did Jesus have a sister?
What was her name?

Girlpraying2_1And did she long to be a Savior, saving everyone she met?
And in private, to her mirror, did she whisper,
“Saviorette! Savior Woman! Savior Person!
Save your breath..."

Did he have a sister, a little baby sister?
Did Jesus have a sister—
Was she there at his death?

CrybabyangelDid she cry for Mary’s comfort
As she watched him on the cross?
And was Mary, too despairing,
“Ask your brother, he’s the boss—
He’s the man
He’s the chief— He’s the show.”

Did he have a sister, a little baby sister?
Did Jesus have a sister—
...Doesn’t anyone know?
