Would Jesus Wear a Rolex? Songtext
von 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

(Chorus)


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?

(Chorus)


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?
