Chocolate Jesus (Intro) (with abandoned take, Step Right Up intro) Songtext
von Tom Waits

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, it's 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
He's better than a cup of gold
See, only the 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 ok
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

Well, it′s got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel so good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied
