This is a song for those of you in the audience [A] who have trouble getting up on Sunday morning
and going [D] to church.
I've discovered [A] something that's a candy item.
It's actually kind of an immaculate confection.
[Bb] There's a cross on [Dm] one side and there's [D] a Bible inscription on the other.
You put it in your mouth and when it's gone you can [G] get up and leave.
[D] This is something for the kids on [D] Easter.
This [G] is called a chocolate Jesus.
