Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

Well, it's got to be a chocolate Jesus

Make me feel good inside

Got to be a chocolate Jesus

Keepin' me satisfied

[Verse 4]

Well, I don't want no Abba-Zaba

Don't want no Almond Joy

There ain't nothin' better

That's suitable for this boy

[Verse 5]

Well, that's the only thing that can pick me up

It's better than a cup of gold

See only a chocolate Jesus

Can satisfy my soul

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

Well, it's got to be a chocolate Jesus

Make me feel so good inside

Got to be a chocolate Jesus

Keepin' me satisfied
