(in 1966 John Lennon told a reporter that the Beatles were ‘more popular than Jesus.’ He is often misquoted as saying Bigger than Jesus.)
Jesus entered the club
And to the microphone he went.
He hushed the crowd and said
“I’d like to make an announcement.
Despite of what he said
I’m bigger than John Lennon
John was 5 foot ten
Whereas I’m 5 foot eleven.”
“But, ” replied a punter,
“Far be it for me to disagree,
But, John said, The Beatles together,
Bigger than you they would be.
And, correct me if I’m wrong,
If on each others shoulders they got
Looking down on the top of your head
They would be, would they not? ”
Jesus thought about this and realised
“Oh no that is true,
But I’m the son of God I can’t be wrong.”
And before our eyes he grew.
That’s right a miracle was performed
In front of the clientele
And said, ‘take that Mr Lennon
Ringo, George and Paul as well.’
Then Jesus, before he left,
The Barman he did thank
And he turned the bottles of Evian
Into bottles of Sauvignon Blanc.
