Jesus Christ S.R.O.

(الألبوم: Peace Will Come - 1972)

Jesus, you're making it big on Broadway
Gosh, it's good to see your name in lights
Singing them rock and roll songs, by golly
Bet you, you learned them from Buddy Holly
I bet you kept the Heavenly Choir up late at night
A-picking up a back beat
Jesus, you're S.R.O. on Broadway
Told us you'd be back, but what do you know
A-wop bop a loo-bop, a-wop bam boom
Rolled the stone back from the tomb
And out came Jesus, starring in a Broadway show
Jesus, we needed you here on Broadway
Business wasn't so good till you came through
Cecil DeMille made a bundle with you
But he never knew that you could boogaloo
Now let me tell you what we're gonna do for you
We'll put you on a T-shirt
Jesus, you're a very hot ticket on Broadway
Always knew you'd make it big somehow
A-wop bop a loo-bop, a-wop bam boom
All you ever needed was a couple good tunes
Jesus, I bet your Daddy's proud of you now
Jesus loves me, this I know
Gave me house seats to his show
Oh, when the cash starts rolling in
Oh, when the cash starts rolling in
Aren't you glad you signed up the Saviour
When the cash starts rolling in
Woh, glory to the box office
Jesus, you're really the toast of Broadway
Spreading peace and joy on the old White Way
This time around you're a little bit looser
All you ever needed was the right producer
Someone who could tell the Saviour what to say
A-be a-bop a-lula
Jesus, you're the biggest star on Broadway
And what a proper superstar you look
A golden oldie, a blast from the past
It's great to see that you've come back at last
And someday I just have to read the book
