Tom Waits — Chocolate Jesus lyrics

Lyrics

Easy Street.
Well, I don’t go to church on Sunday
I don’t get on my knees to pray
Don’t memorize the books of the Bible
I got my own special way
I know the Jesus loves me Oh, maybe just a little bit more
Well I falling on my knees every Sunday
At Zeldera Lee’s candy store
Oh, it’s got to be a chocolate Jesus
He makes me feel so good inside
Oh, it’s got to be a chocolate Jesus
And keeps me satisfied
I don’t want no Anna Zabba
I don’t want no Almond Joy
Because I know I ain’t nothing better
Suitable for this boy
That’s the only thing that can pick me up Better than a cup of gold
See only a chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul
Oh, it’s got to be a chocolate Jesus
It’s good enough for me Oh, it’s got to be a chocolate Jesus
It’s good enough for me And 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 dut that’s ok Pour him over ice cream for a nice parfait
Oh, it’s got to be a chocolate Jesus
And it’s good enough for me Oh, it’s got to be a chocolate Jesus
It’s good enough for me It’s got to be a chocolate Jesus
He makes me feel so good inside
Oh, it’s got to be a chocolate Jesus
And keep me satisfied
