Arlie Conner: Music

Jesus Was a Tenor

Oh my Jesus with his new tattoo
But the only color that they had was blue
I want a haircut just like his
Then everyone I know would call me Chris
Christ was a tenor, he sang so high
If he wanted to, he could really let fly…

the bongos and congas – you know he plays
poly-rhytha-matic in the latest craze
harmonies in seven layers
he’s got a contract with the heavenly players
get Lucifer on the saxophone
to balance it out with a darker tone!

Chorus:
Drink the wine Break the bread
Or give it up for lent and have the fish instead
Drink the wine Break the bread
And say a hallelujah for the grateful dead

Jesus was a tenor, he sang so high
And what a set of lungs he had, my oh my
(with) Peter and Paul to play the spoons,
their energy would make you swoon
Oh sweet Mary on electric bass
She’ll take you to that holy place…

Break the Bread, Drink the Wine,
With JC at the table it was might fine
