Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
I'm Drinking Vodka for Jesus
Copyright: 2008
I wrote this song for a guy (John) in Cleveland who proudly told me that he gave up beer for Lent. He was holding a pint glass of what looked like ice water. When I asked him what he drinking he proudly announced, 'VODKA!' So I wrote a song called 'I'm Drinking Vodka for Jesus' Here's the lyrics for a chuckle (I hope). Don't be afraid, I'm already excommunicated.
I'm Drinking Vodka for Jesus intro:
Lent it is a solemn time For prayer and sacrifice
To give up something that you love Or maybe itâs a vice
Maybe you can do a deed in service to the Lord
And hope like all good Catholics you wonât perish by the sword
Thatâs why⦠(CHORUS) Iâm drinkin vodka for Jesus
for Jesus, the Son of God the Christ
Iâm drinkin vodka for Jesus And that is my Lenten sacrifice
Iâll avoid whatâs from the tap To keep the Devil off my back
Iâll testify there is no Power Higher
When I chose a different flavor It was for my Lord and Savior
To shun Guinness and instead pour Stolichnaya CHORUS
Your first miracle divine was turning water into wine
In every earthen jar or glass and bottle
But Iâm turning beer into vodka 'cause I could never top Ya'!
Iâm doing what I can as a mere mortal CHORUS
When God hears what Iâve done to revere the Holy One
To achieve a spiritual high with vodka seven
The Pearly Gates will swing And Saint Pete will say, âStraight in!â While the angels raise a toast to me in Heaven CHORUS
Iâve heard Hellâs a place that stinks so Iâm stickin with well drinks
For 40 days my plan Iâll not refute
But St. Patrickâs on a Monday and to ensure it is a fun day
Iâll use my Sunday Lenten substitute CHORUS
If itâs chocolate you deny or any cake or pie
Or any fine dessert thatâs on the list
My reward will be supurb âCause I kicked beer to the curb
while Iâm sufferin' with Grey Goose and a twist CHORUS
