[Verse 1]

They put an awful lot on this Jesus man

With their stupid arguments and rants

The Lord had to put up with their morality

And despite that used to speak with local Pharisees

They said, "These things that You do are OK

"But is it kosher on the Sabbath Day?"

[Chorus 1]

Dumb question

What if your lamb should slip down a hole?

Why not go get him?

We'd all do that, you know

[Verse 2]

And all the Sadducees would lie in wait

They would be rowdy, but He'd always set them straight

They would all ask Him for dissertations

About the most unlikely made-up situations

He'd end up showing all their ways were rather weak

Our Lord was subtle but He stepped on their feet

[Chorus 2]

Dumb question

About that widow surviving seven men

And when they asked dumb questions

Christ's wit demolished them

[Bridge 1]

Christ's answers showed incredible insight

But their minds were always filled up with hate

It always ended up as a big blow

When Christ's wisdom proved them second-rate

[Spoken]

How could they win, though?

I could see them in the moonlight

Troops in their midst, waiting for Christ, by the garden gate

[Bridge 2]

The day they brought Christ to Pilate

The experts stood outside

The day they brought Christ to Pilate

All of them thought He'd die

Just die

[Verse 3]

Now He rose up and they aren't in the land

But there's some chaps out there who still don't understand

Life isn't merely intellectual debates

And God has shown us there is no time to waste

We know they've said a lot of things we can ignore

But if they ask us a hundred fifty more

[Chorus 3]

Dumb questions

Let us answer them with help from God

Don't be afraid of dumb questions

He don't need astronauts

[Chorus 4]

Dumb questions

Just like the Lord, we oughta set 'em straight

Don't be afraid of dumb questions

Or the things that you should say
