Ray Stevens › Lyrics › Would Jesus Wear a Rolex

Woke up this mornin'
Turned on the TV 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 clothin'
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, 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 you listened

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?
Would Jesus wear a Rolex
On His television show?
