Andrew Lloyd Webber
The Temple
[MONEYLENDERS/MERCHANTS]
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

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

Name your price; I got everything
Come and buy, it's going fast
Borrow cash on the finest terms
Hurry now while stocks still last

Roll on up, Jerusalem
Here it is and [?]
While our temple still survives
We, at least, are still alive

Come all classes, come all creeds
I can fix your wildest dreams
Name your pleasure I will sell
I got heaven, I got hell
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

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

Roll on up, for my price is down
Come on in for the best in town

[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

[LEPPER 1]
See my eyes, I can hardly see
[LEPPER 2]
See me stand, I can hardly walk

[LEPPER 3]
I believe you can make me whole

[LEPPER 4]
See my tongue, I can hardly talk

[LEPPER 5]
See my skin, I'm a mass of blood

[LEPPER 6]
See my legs, I can hardly stand

[LEPPER 7]
I believe you can make me well

[LEPPER 8]
See my purse, I'm a poor poor man

{LEPPERS]
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?
[WOMEN LEPPERS]
See our eyes, we can hardly see
See us stand, we can hardly walk
We believe you can make us whole
See their tongues, they can hardly talk

[MEN LEPPERS]
See our skin, we're a mass of blood
Change our lives, oh I know you can
We believe you can make us well
For the hope of a poor, poor man

[LEPPERS]
Will you touch, will you mend me, Christ?
Won't you touch, will you heal me, Christ?
Will you kiss, can you cure me, Christ?
Won't you kiss, won't you pay me, Christ?

See our eyes, we can hardly see
See us stand, we can hardly walk
We believe you can make us whole
See their tongues, they can hardly talk
See our skin, we're a mass of blood
Change our lives, oh I know you can
We believe you can make us well
For the hope of a poor, poor man

Will you touch, will you mend me, Christ?
Won't you touch, will you heal me, Christ?
Will you kiss, can you cure me, Christ?
Won't you kiss, won't you pay me, Christ?

[JESUS]
There's too, too many of you
Don't push me
There's too little of me
Don't crowd me, don't crowd me
Mmm, don't crowd me
Ohhh

[LEPPERS]
See our eyes, we can hardly see
See us stand, we can hardly walk
We believe you can make us whole
See their tongues, they can hardly talk
See our skin, we're a mass of blood
Change our lives, oh I know you can
We believe you can make us well
For the hope of a poor, poor man

Will you touch, will you mend me, Christ?
Won't you touch, will you heal me, Christ?
Will you kiss, can you cure me, Christ?
Won't you kiss, won't you pay me, Christ?
