Lyrics:

                                                  
REFRAIN: O Jesus, You been thinkin' too big, Boy.  Come back to Nazareth now.  Make me a table, Boy; make me a bed to lie down.
VERSE1.(Mary)  Why you smart-talkin' them doctors?  Who put that stuff in your head?  See, your Daddy an' I we been frantic; searchin' you out night an' day.  REFRAIN
VERSE 2 (Jesus) How come you chased me down frantic?  Didn't you know where I am?  I'm a man, come of age, in the house of my Father.  Got my Father's business to do.
(Mary) What's this 'bout your Father's business?  How many fathers you got, Boy?  Don't get to talkin' so special.  You're only special to me.  REFRAIN
VERSE 3 (Jesus) Ain't got no more to tell you.  Gonna go back like you want.  Guess the Angel, the Wise Men, they didn't get through, 'cause Papa an' Mama, you ain't got a clue.
(Mary) I'm gonna store up this scene, Boy.  I'm gonna hold it to heart.  Maybe someday I can figure it out, when I watch you workin' the wood.  REFRAIN
