lyrics

I don't go to church on a Sunday,
Don't get on my knees to pray.
I've never memorized a single book of that bible,
I got my own special way.

But, still, I know Jesus loves me
And maybe just a little bit more.
When I drop down to my knees every Sunday
At miss Zerelda Lee's candy store.

Yes, it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
That makes me feel good inside.
Only a chocolate Jesus
Can keep me satisfied!

(Trombone solo)

(Trumpet solo)

Don't give me no Abba Zabba
Don't try to sell me no Almond Joy.
There's only one thing better
That is suitable for this, here, boy!

It's the only thing that can fill me up.
It's better than whole cup of gold.
You see, only a chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul.

Oh, when the weather gets rough,
You're drinking whiskey in the shade.
It's best to wrap your savior up in cellophane.
He'll flows like a big muddy but that's okay,
You can pour him over ice cream or a nice parfait.

It's got to be a chocolate Jesus
That makes me feel satisfied.
You see, only a chocolate Jesus,
Can fill me me up inside!

So, get yourself a chocolate Jesus,
He'll wipe away all of your sings,
You gotta get a chocolate Jesus,
Just open up and let him all in.
