(Am)Well I don't go to church on Sunday, don't get on my knees to (Dm)pray.
Don't memorize the books of the (Am)Bible, I (E)got my own special way.
(Am)I know Jesus loves me, maybe just a little bit (Dm)more.
I fall to my knees every (Am)Sunday at (E7)Zerelda Lee's candy (Am)store.
(Am)Well it's got to be a Chocolate Jesus, makes me feel good in(Dm)side.
Got to be a Chocolate (Am)Jesus, to (E7)keep me satis(Am)fied.
(Am)Well I don't want no Abba Zabba, don't want no Almond (Dm)Joy.
There ain't nothing (Am)better (E7)suitable for this boy.
Well it's the (Am)only thing that can pick me up, better than a cup of (Dm)gold.
See, only a Chocolate (Am)Jesus can (E7)satisfy my (Am)soul.

When the (Dm)weather gets rough and it's whiskey in the shade.
It's best to wrap your savior up in (Am)cellophane.
He (Dm)flows like the big muddy but that's ok,
(E7)pour him over ice-cream for a nice parfait.
(Am)Well it's got to be a Chocolate Jesus, good enough for (Dm)me.
Got to be a Chocolate (Am)Jesus, (E7)good enough for (Am)me.
Well it's got to be a Chocolate Jesus, makes me feel good in(Dm)side.
