| 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 |
