Tom Paxton - Jesus Christ S.R.O. lyrics

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
