Well, it's got to be a chocolate Jesus

Ένα τραγουδάκι λόγω των ημερών...

Ας χορέψουμε κι εμείς σα να πάθαμε λουμπάγκο!




"This is a eh... a song for those of you in the audience who have trouble getting up on Sunday morning and going to church... I've discovered something, ehm... it's a candy item. It's actually kind of an immaculate confection. It's eh... there's a cross on one side and there's a bible inscription on the other, and eh... you put it in your mouth and when it's gone you can... get up and leave. So... This is something for the kids on eh Easter. This is called eh the 'Chocolate Jesus'."

Chocolate Jesus

Well, I don't go to church on Sunday
Don't get on my knees to pray
Don't memorize the books of the bible
I got my own special way

I know Jesus loves me
maybe just a little bit more
I fall down on my knees every Sunday
at Zerelda Lee's candy store

Well, I've got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied

Well, I don't want no Abba Zabba
Don't want no Almond Joy
There ain't nothing better
suitable for this boy

Well, it's the only thing that can pick me up
It's better than a cup of gold
See, only a chocolate Jesus
can satisfy my soul

When the weather gets rough and it's whiskey in the shade
it's best to wrap your savior up in cellophane
He flows like the big muddy but that's okay
pour him over ice cream for a nice parfait

Well, it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
It's good enough for me

And it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel so good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied
