Lyrics

[Intro]
| Ebm | -   | - | Abm |
| -   | Ebm |

[Verse 1]
Bb7
Ebm       Ebm
   Well I don't go to church on Sunday
                             Abm
Don't get on my knees to pray
                                  Ebm
Don't memorize the books of the Bible
  Bb7
I got my own special way
Ebm
I  know Jesus loves me
                        Abm
Maybe just a little bit more
                              Ebm
I fall down on my knees every Sunday
     Bb7               Ebm
At Zerelda Lee's candy store

[Chorus]
          Ebm
Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
                        Abm
Make me feel good inside
                        Ebm
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Bb7          Ebm
Keep me satisfied

[Verse 2]
       Ebm
Well I don't want no Abba Zabba
                        Abm
Don't want no Almond Joy
                       Ebm
There ain't nothing better
Bb7
Suitable for this boy
              Ebm
Well it's the only thing
That can pick me up
                     Abm
Better than a cup of gold
                     Ebm
See only a chocolate Jesus
    Bb7        Ebm
Can satisfy my soul

[Bridge]
Ebm         Abm
   When the weather gets rough
And it's whiskey in the shade
It's best to wrap your savior
      Ebm
Up in cellophane
        Abm
He flows   like the big muddy
But that's ok
Bb7
Pour him over ice cream
For a nice parfait

[Chorus]
          Ebm
Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
                  Abm
Good enough for me
                        Ebm
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Bb7             Ebm
Good enough for me 
Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
                           Abm
Make me feel so good inside
                      Ebm
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Bb7          Ebm
Keep me satisfied
