JESUS CHRIST S.R.O.
Tom Paxton

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 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.
Told us you'd be back, but what do you know?
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 Savior,
When the cash starts rolling in?

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 Savior 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 some day I just have to read the book!
