This version is from The Arrogant Worms. See the version from Live Bait here.

If you haven't heard of me, I wouldn't be surprised
I bet you know my relatives; their names will never die
My mother is a saint, and my brother is a God
But all I am is Jesus' brother Bob

Jesus' brother Bob, Jesus' brother Bob
A nobody relative of the son of God
If only I'd been born just a little sooner
I'd be more than the brother of God Jr.

I have to pay the ferry to cross the Galilee
But not my brother, no not him, He walks across for free
I finally get to work 'bout a quarter after nine
Already He's turning water into wine

Jesus' brother Bob, Jesus' brother Bob
A nobody relative of the son of God
If only I'd been born just a little sooner
I'd be more than the brother of God Jr.

One day when I was home, I heard a mighty roar
There were a thousand people right outside the door
(Help us, Jesus, help us!) came the cheering from the mob
Then they got a look at me (Oh nuts, it's only Bob)

Jesus' brother Bob, Jesus' brother Bob
A nobody relative of the son of God
If only I'd been born just a little sooner
I'd be more than the brother of God Jr.

He died upon the cross, I thought that I was free
Finally people would get to know me for me! (Hi, Bob.) Hi!
This was my big chance to finally get ahead
The next thing you know, He's rising from the dead!

Jesus' brother Bob, Jesus' brother Bob
A nobody relative of the son of God
If only I'd been born just a little sooner
I'd be more than the brother of God Jr.

Everyone!

Jesus' brother Bob, Jesus' brother Bob
A nobody relative of the son of God
If only I'd been born just a little sooner
I'd be more than the brother of God Jr.

A-Bob
