They call me Apostle Paul, I'm a man of God
I've been stoned and shipwrecked, and I've been beat with rods
I got a hundred and ninety-five lashes from the Jews
The Apostle Paul is a better man than you
I was with St. Stephen when he drew his last breath
I stood there and held his clothes while they stoned him to death
He asked me nicely. How could I refuse?
The Apostle Paul is a better man than you
On the road to old Damascus, I was blinded suddenly
I heard Jesus say "Why dost thou persecuteth me?"
Then He opened up my eyes and changed my views
The Apostle Paul is a better man than you
I met a boy named Timothy when I got back my vision
I said, "You can be a preacher too if you get a circumcision"
And soon we had 'em sittin' in the pews
The Apostle Paul is a better man than you
I write great, long epistles everywhere I go
It takes me twenty pages just to say hello
And twenty more to tell you what to do
The Apostle Paul is a better man than you
I went to a Grecian bath house, the place was full of goys
I didn't see no women there, all the men was shaggin' boys
I said, Grab a towel and I'll preach you the Good News"
The Apostle Paul is a better man than you
Well I went down to the tabernacle just the other night
I saw a woman preachin' and I said, "Keep your women quiet!"
Then she hauled off and gave me such a bruise
The Apostle Paul is a better man than you
They call me Apostle Paul, I'm a man of God
I've been stoned and shipwrecked, and I've been beat with rods
I got a hundred and ninety-five lashes from the Jews
The Apostle Paul is a better man than you!
