I saw a man with a tat(too) on his big fat belly,Bb

It wiggled around like marmalade jelly.Fm Db

It took me a while to catch what it said,Bb'cause I had to match the rhytm of his belly with my head.Fm Db"Jesus Saves" is what it raved,

BbIn a typical tatoo green.

Fm DbHe stood on a box in the middle of the city

BbAnd claimed he had a dream.

VERSE 2:Fm Db BbKamikaze, my death is gain

Fm Db BbI've been marked by my maker, a peculiar displayFm Db BbThe high and lofty, they see me as weak

Fm Db Bb'Cause I won't live and die, for the power they seek?

RAP 2:Fm Db

There was a man in the desert with naps in his head,BbThe sand that he walked was also his bed.


10/26

Fm DbThe words that he spoke made the people assume,

BbThere wasn't too much left in the upper room.

Fm DbWith scabs on his back and hair on his face,Bb

They thought he was strange by the locust he ate.Fm Db

Ya see the Pharisees tripped when they heard him speak,Bb

Until the King took the head of this Jesus Freak.
