Jesus Christ S.R.O. |
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 |
