"Chocolate Jesus" lyrics

"Chocolate Jesus"
(originally by Tom Waits)

Well, I don't go to church on Sunday
Don't get on my knees and pray
Don't memorize the books of no Bible
I got my own special way

And 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

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

Well, I don't want no Abba Zabba
Don't want no Almond Joy
And there ain't nothing better
Suitable for this boy

And the only thing that can pick me up
Better than a cup of gold
See only a chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul

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, but that's okay
Pour him over ice cream for a nice parfait

And it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel so good inside
It got to be a chocolate Jesus
That keep me satisfied

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, but that's okay
Pour him over ice cream for a nice parfait

And it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
It got to be a chocolate Jesus
It's good enough for me

Yeah, and it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel so good inside
It got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied
