I'll Bet He Was Cool

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You know every once in a while

I shoot the breeze I spend my time

I talk about silly things

I like to talk about Jesus Christ

'Cos I wonder what would happen if he passed you by

Would you be scared? Would you believe in him?

Would you bust your asses to get him institutionalized?

Well, I bet he'd be cool; I bet he'd be damn good looking

I bet that he smelt divine

I'm not talking about Calvin Klein's Obsession

Just one of those people smell good all the time

There's no reason why

What would he wear? Would he wear Tommy Hilfiger?

Or prefer Urban Outfitted? I don't think so

Well, I bet he liked Gaultier

but you'd never find him in it; I bet he liked Gaultier

Lord I need your protection spend some time in my direction

I need your protection spend some time in my direction

I need your protection spend some time in my direction

You know every once and a while

I shoot the breeze I spend my time

I talk about silly things

And tonight I'd like to talk to you about Jesus Christ

'Cos I wonder how we'd deal if He just passed you by

I bet he'd be a star

I bet my star wars figures he would be a movie star

A Quentin Tarantino next-big-thing

Prima Donna, then he'd appear on Oprah

You know what? I don't think so

I bet my speeder bike he'd turn his back on all of that

Lord I need your protection spend some time in my direction

I need your protection spend some time in my direction

I need your protection spend some time in my direction

Some people have just got it

You know like standing next to Elvis Presley

Well then multiply that feeling by 1 million

and you know whatI'm talking about

Well I'll bet he was cool

Man I bet that cowboy was so damn good looking
