chocolate jesus

bir tom waits şarkısı. geri vokalde ise horoz vardır. bildiğin horoz. tom baba çok sever horozları.

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
bit 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 anna 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

bir horozun back vokal yaptığı şarkı anca megafonla söylenebilirdi. arkada çalan tar ve diğer geleneksel, soyu tükenmeye yüz tutmuş enstrümanlar olsun, tom waits'in sigara-viskiden kavrulmuş boğazı olsun, megafondan mikrofona söylenişi olsun enfes şarkıdır.

imkansızı başaran leziz bir ustad tom waits eseri. tam da bourbon' a geçmişken...
