"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

I cant recall how many times a Waits melody has helped me find the words to understand myself.
Holy cow, that’s gotta be the coolest harmonica sound ever?
Perhaps, this and Ennio Morricones man with a harmonica
It's Charlie Musselwhite, one of the best around. Go listen to his stuff if you liked it, start with Christo Redemptor !
@@jaypoison Thank you for the recommendation! That was a fantastic listen!
Waits invented sound. This is the word of someones lord 🙏
@@jaypoison I would say start with "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White', but yeah: What you said.
Only Tom Waits can satisfy my soul.
True that, his music is great
Well, I 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
I know Jesus loves me
Maybe just a little bit more
Fall down on my knees every Sunday
At Zerelda Lee's candy store
Well, I've 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
It's 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 okay
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
It's good enough for me
Well, it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel so good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied
Two of my teachers in primary school loved music, and liked bob dylan, tom waits etc, and they taught the whole class this song when we were like 10. They were pretty cool teachers.
Leonard Cohen is not "etc"
@@nancyperkins2277 true true, I imagine they did like him, but I don't remember them playing his music at any point for some reason
Lucky students .great teachers introducing music to kids
Cracked me up that this album got Grammy for "best contemporary folk".... bit hard to categorize Tom..
Thats reminds me of a Friend i have that calls Black Sabbath Psychedelic Blues lmao.
I hear ya. The contemporary folk label is accurate as several of the monster tracks on this dope joint are traditional call-and-response songs (w/origins in the work songs of African slaves, then African American church choirs picked it up and it soon became a significant element of pop music). You hear call-and-response's influence in many styles of music that we might not categorize as folk (although music played by self-taught performers and material from various traditional styles are considered folk) including blues, country, gospel & so on and songs like "Get Behind the Mule", "Cold Water" and others from Mule Variations (1999) while edgy and replete w/modern sounds are still essentially traditional call-and-response tunes and may correctly be labeled as "folk" even if Mr. Waits' creates a sound uniquely his own and therefore, as you so correctly stated, hard to categorize.
@@michaelkottler and "The Eyeball Kid" uses a Balinese kecak dance vocals. Something you don't hear every day..... My fave line is "come down off your cross we can use the wood"
THANK YOU TOM WAITS!!! This planet needs this song and THANK YOU for sharing the worthy soul you are on our planet!
"Planet" ? Lol.. Research flat earth, please
Apparently the rooster was *not* a sample. It was recorded outside Prairie Sun Studios the rooster just happened.
Tom Waits has saved me at times.
Praise Chocolate Jesus!
while i listen to his voice i can feel bourbon and cigar on my tongue
I hear the voice of someone who understands my soul.
My dad use to sing tom waits every morning
The crowing rooster is a nice touch. Ha ha
alors la, Chapeau l'artiste!!!! 😶🌫
Hats off, indeed!
Always listened to the live version. This perty kool
I was trying to figure out why it sounded so different than what I remembered 😂
Absolutely Brilliant! I love Tom Waits!
Happy Easter y'all
This is the perfect Easter song!!
This is a fantastic play list.
HEAL ME !!!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
I have the same birthday as Tom! 🥳
I love how the rooster is just going for it too.
Damn I feel his voice in my throat, just like I smoked a harsh joint
Tom "the truth speaker" Waitts
"Waits", but yeah.
❤❤❤

I love this song!!!!
"Reality is for people who can't face drugs."
Rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy. Got a 20?
Привет✋👋 Страна👍
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.
There are eleven people out there with their heads up their backsides.
How is this stuff legal?
?

When I close my eyes, I see an old black soul singing
Tom you're a secret society member, I was really sorry to discover this.
Oh, your secret is safe with me.
Oh jeezus here we go...
I'm not the only person whose brain keeps overlaying "You Don't Mess Around With Jim" on this tune, am I?
XD
Τι τραγουδαρα επική είναι αυτή γαμω το σύμπαν μου το ίδιο
This is about heroin, right?
Self gratification generally is my interpetation. Whaterver "the chocolate jeses" is for you.
Phony faith?
