Topical Jesus ( Sauvaciun Miraculum Chrisma)

V1/
“Truth be told. With all the snake oil that I’ve sold,
I can honestly say it’s the next best thing, since saving your soul
And may I have a minute ma’am of your time? Cause you come across
Like the spiritual kind. Trapped in a world of non-believers.”

Chorus “The Pitch”/
“There’s a cure. There’s a cure. Coming door to door
It’s a topical…topical…
Topical Jesus!”
V2/
“Flash! With the slightest little tip of the cap.
I’m off the cross and I’m back over the mat. Counting my blessings,
And the ten percent for my sins; I keep up under my hat.
The man upstairs is never checking the books. And I can’t even fathom the
Last time I looked. Probably; not since I was hired. Now, I’ve got enough to
retire.”

Chorus “The Payoff”/
“I owe it all to my topical…topical…
Topical Jesus!”

Bridge “The Punchline”/
“It’s not sacrilege, It’s just salesmanship
It’s not sacrilege, It’s just good old, red-blooded, American salesmanship.”

Outro “The Prayer” /
“I owe it all topical… topical…
Topical Jesus!
Oh, Bless My Soul!
Topical… topical…
Topical Jesus!”

“And the masses it pleases
And the masses it pleases!!!”
