Ray Stevens - Would Jesus Wear a Rolex Lyrics

Woke up this mornin', turned on my TV set
And there in livin' color, was somethin' I can't forget
This man was preachin' at me, yeah, layin' on a charm
Askin' me for twenty, with ten-thousand on his arm

He wore designer clothing, and a big smile on his face
Sellin' me salvation while they sang 'Amazing Grace'
Askin' me for money, when he had all the signs of wealth
I almost wrote a check out, yeah, but 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
Can you 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, but try to hide his worth?
Take money, from those poor folks, when he comes back again
And admit he's talked to all those preachers
Who say they been a talkin' to him? Lord have mercy

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 you tell me, would Jesus wear a Rolex?
Would Jesus wear a Rolex?
Would Jesus wear a Rolex on his television show?
Would Jesus wear a Rolex on his television show?
