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
