| Jesus.... the missing years | |
| It was raining. it was cold | |
| West bethlehem was no place for a twelve year old | |
| So he packed his bags and he headed out | |
| To find out what the world's about | |
| He went to france. he went to spain | |
| He found love. he found pain. | |
| He found stores so he started to shop | |
| But he had no money so he got in trouble with a cop | |
| Kids in trouble with the cops | |
| From israel didn't have no home | |
| So he cut his hair and moved to rome | |
| It was there he met his irish bride | |
| And they rented a flat on the lower east side of rome... | |
| Italy that is | |
| Music publishers, book binders, bible belters, money changers, | |
| Spoon benders and lots of pretty italian chicks. | |
| Chorus: | |
| Charley bought some popcorn | |
| Billy bought a car | |
| Someone almost bought the farm | |
| But they didn't go that far | |
| Things shut down at midnight | |
| At least around here they do | |
| Cause we all reside down the block | |
| Inside at ....23 skidoo. | |
| Wine was flowing so were beers | |
| So jesus found his missing years | |
| So he went to a dance and said "this don't move me" | |
| He hiked up his pants and he went to a movie | |
| On his thirteenth birthday he saw "rebel without a cause" | |
| He went straight on home and invented santa claus | |
| Who gave him a gift and he responded in kind | |
| He gave the gift of love and went out of his mind | |
| You see him and the wife wasn't getting along | |
| So he took out his guitar and he wrote a song | |
| Called "the dove of love fell off the perch" | |
| But he couldn't get divorced in the catholic church | |
| At least not back then anyhow | |
| Jesus was a good guy he didn't need this shit | |
| So he took a pill with a bag of peanuts and | |
| A coca-cola and he swallowed it. | |
| He discovered the beatles | |
| And he recorded with the stones | |
| Once he even opened up a three-way package | |
| In southern california for old george jones | |
| Repeat chorus: | |
| The years went by like sweet little days | |
| With babies crying pork chops and beaujolais | |
| When he woke up he was seventeen | |
| The world was angry. the world was mean. | |
| Why the man down the street and the kid on the stoop | |
| All agreed that life stank. all the world smelled like poop | |
| Baby poop that is ..the worst kind | |
| So he grew his hair long and thew away his comb | |
| And headed back to jerusalem to find mom, dad and home | |
| But when he got there the cupboard was bare | |
| Except for an old black man with a fishing rod | |
| He said "whatcha gonna be when you grow up?" | |
| Jesus said "god" | |
| Oh my god, what have i gotten myself into? | |
| I'm a human corkscrew and all my wine is blood | |
| They're gonna kill me mama. they don't like me bud. | |
| So jesus went to heaven and he went there awful quick | |
| All them people killed him and he wasn't even sick | |
| So come and gather around me my contemporary peers | |
| And i'll tell you all the story of | |
| Jesus...the missing years | |
| Repeat chorus: | |
| We all reside down the block | |
| Inside at ....23 skidoo. |
