    "Chocolate Jesus" by Tom Waits from the album 'Mule Variations'
    Lyrics
    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
    But I know Jesus loves me
    maybe just a little bit more
    I fall on my knees every Sunday
    At Zerelda Lee's candy store
    Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
    Make me feel good inside
    Got to be a chocolate Jesus
    Keep me satisfied
    Well I don't want no Abba Zabba
    Don't want no Almond Joy
    There ain't nothing 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
    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 ok
    Pour him over ice cream
    for a nice parfait
    Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
    good enough for me
    Got to be a chocolate Jesus
    good enough for me
    Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
    make me feel good inside
    Got to be a chocolate Jesus
    Keep me satisfied

    Chocolate Jesus
    Не хожу я в церковь в воскресенье
    И в молитве не падаю ниц,
    Не учил я святого писания,
    На службу особый мой вид.
    Но я знаю, Иисус меня любит,
    Может даже чуть больше, прости,
    И колени склоняю не в церкви,
    А в кондитерской Зерельды Ли.
    Да прибудет шоколадный Иисус,
    Дабы ощутить благодать внутри.
    Это должен быть шоколадный Иисус,
    Мудрость мира в себе он хранит.
    В общем, мне не нужна Анна Забба,
    Не нужен и Алмонд Джой,
    Ничего на свете нет лучше,
    Что могло бы вернуть меня в строй.
    Есть одна вещь, что возвысит меня,
    Лучше чем золота чаша,
    Это лишь шоколадный Иисус,
    Он один для души моей важен.
    А когда разойдётся погода,
    И в тень все относят бухло,
    Окутай слегка целлофаном,
    Спасителя ты своего.
    Он стечёт расплавленной массой,
    Не волнуйся, всё будет в порядке,
    Залей им поверх мороженного,
    Для наслаждения животворящего.
    Да прибудет шоколадный Иисус,
    Он вполне ублажает меня.
    Да придёт шоколадный Иисус,
    Мудрость мира собою храня.
