Chip Taylor
Dance with Jesus



I drink it down -- he fills it up
I turn around -- he turns with me
I say I'm bad, Lord -- he says "Whatever,
Son in time you're gonna dance with me"

But I have questions -- about you Jesus
Your precious word -- the stories told
80 years later -- did them four investigators
deliver us some tarnished gold

And I have questions -- about you Moses
The parting seas -- the burning sand
Why did you not leave -- one button from your sleeve
As proof for the historians

I drink it down -- he fills it up
I turn around -- he turns with me
I say I'm bad, Lord -- he say "whatever
Son, in time you're gonna dance with me

And I have questions -- about "forever"
Will it be like Yonkers or San Antone
Can I be trustin' -- you'll let me keep my Justins
And what happens when the soles are gone

Dance with Jesus, dance with Mary, dance with Moses and Abraham
Dance with ol' Roy Rodgers and Brooklyn Dodgers --
Hey Pee Wee how the hell you been?

Dance with Ezekiel, dance with Sarah, Barbara & Elmer & the ol' milk man
Dance with Joltin Joe and Marilyn Monroe
Hey Bobby, sooner or later I'm gonna cut in
