Jesus Christ the drunk

Jesus Christ was a kid just like me
See,
He took his time
since he knew he would die
for a kid like me

See,
He walked down by the bar
it wasn't too far
from the shop where his daddy
cut wood and stone

With a hop and a skip
we thought he would trip
the blind boy who lived down the way
Then, with a smile
he paused for a while
then healed that sinner-boy's eyes

As you've certainly heard
Jesus and Mary
were quite contrary
finding pleasure within
the arms of each other
every Sabbath-day night

Jesus Christ!
A pain in the neck was that boy
Holy, divine
and privy to wine
since water was not in short supply

But despite all the rumors
and terrible lies
Jesus
was the Son
And for all of the daughters and sons
yet to come
he died

Especially for a kid just like me
