Lyrics...

Hello friends, my name is Jesus
Will you take the time to meet us?

I am one and they are twelve
Let us introduce ourselves

Listen well, you'll learn our names
Let's start off with my friend James

Number two, he is the same,
Son of Alphaeus, also James

I am sweet, but this guy's sweeter
Have you met my good friend Peter?

He travelled far, farther than you
Peter's brother, here’s Andrew

It's his job, you know he'll tax you
Don't hold it against poor Matthew

The sixth one's here, I'm glad he is
Cos here comes my friend Thaddaeus

The seventh's here, he's good for rhymin'
Here's the Canaanite called Simon

He follows me because I will it
My devoted friend called Philip

Who's the doubting one among us?
Look no furtherer than Thomas

This one said, "I'll follow you
Or my name's not Bartholomew"

We're almost there, we're nearly done
But don't let me forget dear John

That's your lot, we've reached the end-uh
Now our names I know you will remember

Judas
