Chocolate Jesus Tab

by Tom Waits

If you don’t think that this is the best song in the world…I will fight you!

								
Don't go to church on Sunday, don't get down on my knees and pray
					
Don't memorize the books of the bible got my own special way
						
I know Jesus loves me, maybe just a little bit more
								
I get down on my knees every Sunday, at Zarelda Lee's candy store

							
Got to be a Chocolate Jesus, make me feel so good inside
						
Got to be a Chocolate Jesus, keep me satisfied

Don't want no Abba Zabba, don't want no Almond Joy
There ain't nothin’ better, suitable for this boy
Well it’s the only thing that can pick me up
Better than a cup of gold
See only a Chocolate Jesus, can satisfy my soul
		
	
When the weather gets rough and its whisky in the shade
				
Best to wrap your savior up in cellophane
 
He floats like The Big Muddy, but that's okay


Pour him over ice cream for a nice parfait ....

Got to be a Chocolate Jesus, good enough for me
Got to be a Chocolate Jesus, good enough for me

Got to be a Chocolate Jesus, make me feel so good inside
Got to be a Chocolate Jesus, keep me satisfied
