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 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
