Testo Chocolate Jesus - Tom Waits
Testo della canzone Chocolate Jesus (Tom Waits), tratta dall'album Storytellers
This is, uh
We're gonna redo "Chocolate Jesus"
I'm glad it's one you wanna hear twice
It's one you're gonna be hearing a lot on the radio, I'm sure
AM
Oh, um
Story? Do I need a story?
We don't need a story
You see
Okay, now, you see, now, before it's like more stories
And then I have one and then they say, "Don't use it"
Oh, okay
When I was a kid, my, uh, um
We used to go visit my Uncle Robert
And, um, my Uncle Robert, uh, was an organist at the church
And he bought the organ from the church
He loved the organ so much
Eh, he wanted that organ
And he took it out of the church
And he put it in his own living room
And, and he had the pipes going up through the ceiling
And, you know
And I was like, you know
I was like seven, eight years old
And I, I just, it was the most amazing place to go to
Because there was, there were, uh, clothes all over the floor
And, you know, it was just, uh
There was a broken window and it hadn't been fixed
And then, you know, the wallpaper was coming down
And, and, you know, and I said, "This is livin'"
And, uh, I said, "This is show business"
And, uh, I asked my mom why I couldn't keep my room that way
She said, "Tom, your Uncle Robert is blind"
I'm sorry, I couldn't resist
Uh, true story, though
Alright, here we go
Get your Chocolate Jesus and get 'em while they're hot
Step right up, everyone's a winner
Got bargains galore, that's right
You too can be the proud owner
'Cause the quality goes in before the name goes on
How 'bout perfume? We got perfume
How 'bout an engagement ring?
Something for the little lady, something for the little lady
Three for a dollar
Get away from me kid, you're bothering me
Get your Chocolate Jesus and get it now
I don't go to church on Sunday
Don't get on my knees to pray
Now, you see, we gotta start again
Because that was the problem with the earlier take
Was there was feedback
I apologize for that
Well, get your Chocolate Jesus
And get your Chocolate Jesus while they're hot
Everybody wants to have a Chocolate Jesus
And everyone deserves a Chocolate Jesus
What's more, you've earned it
Well, I don't go to church on Sunday
I don't get down on my knees to pray
Don't memorize the books of the Bible
I got my own special way
'Cause I know Jesus loves me
Maybe just a little bit more
I fall down off my knees every Sunday
At Zerelda Lee's candy store
And I got to have a Chocolate Jesus
Makes me feel so good inside
It's got to be a Chocolate Jesus
To keep me satisfied
Well, I don't want no Abba Zabba
I don't want no Almond Joy
There ain't nothing that's better
And suitable for this boy
Well, it's the only thing that can pick me up
Better than a cup of gold
And only a Chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul, yeah
When the weather gets rough
And it's whiskey in the shade
Best to wrap your Savior up in cellophane
She flows like the Big Muddy, but that's okay
Pour 'em over ice cream for a nice parfait
Well, it got to be a Chocolate Jesus
Makes me feel so good inside
It got to be a Chocolate Jesus
To keep me satisfied
Well, it got to be a Chocolate Jesus
Make me feel so good inside
Got to be a Chocolate Jesus
To keep me satisfied
Oh, you got to keep, keep me satisfied
Got to keep me satisfied
Yeah, you got to keep me satisfied
Thank you
