would jesus wear a rolex
Singer: ray stevens
woke up this mornin'
turned on the t.v. set. there in livin' color
was somethin' i can't forget. this man was preachin' at me
yeah
layin' on the charm
askin' me for twenty
with ten-thousand on his arm. he wore designer clothes
and a big smile on his face
sellin' me salvation while they sang amazin' grace. askin' me for money
when he had all the signs of wealth. i almost wrote a check out
yeah
then i asked myself
would he wear a pinky ring
would he drive a fancy car?
would his wife wear furs and diamonds
would his dressin' room have a star?
if he came back tomorrow
well there's somethin' i'd like to know
could ya tell me
would jesus wear a rolex on his television show. would jesus be political if he came back to earth?
have his second home in palm springs
yeah
a try to hide his worth?
take money
from those poor folks
when he comes back again
and admit he's talked to all them preachers who say they been a talkin' to him?
just ask ya' self
would he wear a pinky ring
would he drive a fancy car?
would his wife wear furs and diamonds
would his dressing room have a star?
if he came back tomorrow
well there's somethin' i'd like to know: could ya tell me
would jesus wear a rolex
would jesus wear a rolex
would jesus wear a rolex
on his television show-ooh-ooh?
