- Chocolate Jesus »
by fredrick francis alexandre smith II
If you don’t think that this is the best song in the world…I will fight you!
Dm Gm
Don't go to church on Sunday, don't get down on my knees and pray
Gm Dm Am
Don't memorize the books of the bible got my own special way
Dm Gm
I know Jesus loves me, maybe just a little bit more
Gm Dm Am Dm
I get down on my knees every Sunday, at Zarelda Lee's candy store
Dm Gm
Got to be a Chocolate Jesus, make me feel so good inside
Gm Dm Am Dm
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
Gm
When the weather gets rough and its whisky in the shade
Dm
Best to wrap your savior up in cellophane
Gm
He floats like The Big Muddy, but that's okay
A7
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

| My brother told me "Chocolate Jesus" was 1930's slang for heroin which would make the whole thing about addiction. Then again, Christians like to slap the image of Jesus on just about anything, so maybe you can actually buy a piece of chocolate in the shape the ol' Son of God. Who the Hell knows? | |

| On VH1 Storytellers, Tom explained that his uncle periodically sent him get rich quick ads clipped from the paper. An ad on the back of one for "Testamints" ( http://christianthings.com/testmint.html) caught his eye and he quipped "What's next, a chocolate Jesus?" | |

| Yeah, there's a live recording of this song that I found on YouTube, and at the beginning, Tom says to the audience somethin like "I've discovered this candy item; it's an immaculate confection, it's like this little thing wth a cross on one side and a bible inscription on the other, and you put it in your mouth and when it's gone...you can just get up a leave". So that kinda ties in with what "KurtK" said. Thats my two cents anywayssss | |

| He also stated that he recorded the song outdoors, and the rooster you hear in the beginning is real and just happened to crow at the right time.. | |

| Chocolate is addicting and lots of people eat it like a drug to relieve stress/depression... thus, Chocolate Jesus. | |
