Jesus Gshaves, joins Ccorporate AGmerica,
Gets laid Goff, Dgrows his Gbeard back
Stays up Glate, sees a CTV comGmercial
About being a Gwelder, Cmakes a Gphone call.
Jesus Gshaves, Cgoes on an Ginterview,
Does real Gwell, he's got a Dway with Gpeople
Two years Gon, he's Cstill an apGprentice,
But not for Glong, it's CgraduGation.
Jesus Gshaves, Cputs his best Gsuit on,
Gets a cerGtificate, Dmakes it ofGficial,
Now he's a Gwelder, Cwears a big Ghelmet,
And twice a Gweek now, CJesus Gshaves.
DBlessed are the Dones who Cmake Gpeace,
DBlessed are the Dones who Cscrape Gby,
DBlessed are the Dones living Choly Glives,
And Chere's to the Drest of us who Gtry.
Jesus Gshaves on CSunday Gmorning,
Decides to go Gfishing after Dgoing to Gchurch,
It's winterGtime, so he Cwalks on Gwater,
Digs a hole in the Gice, and Cfishes for Gperch.
Jesus Gshaves the Cscales off the Gfishes,
Has a few filGlets and a Dcouple of Gbrewskies,
Thinks about the Ggirl, MagdeClena in Gpayroll,
Decides that he's Ggonna ask her Cout for Gdinner.
Jesus Gshaves for Cwork on GMonday,
Goes to the Goffice, Dgathers his Gcourage,
He's still not Gsure just Chow he's gonna Gask her,
Walks over to her Gdesk, sees a Cpicture of her Gboyfriend.
DBlessed are the Dones who Cmake Gpeace,
DBlessed are the Dones who Cscrape Gby,
DBlessed are the Dones living Choly Glives,
And Chere's to the Drest of us who Gtry.
She says "HelGlo, how are Cyou this Gmorning?"
He asks if she Gknows if it'll Dsnow or Grain,
She notices him Glooking at the Cpicture on her Gdesktop,
She says it's her Gcousin who Cpassed Gaway.
He says "That's Ggreat!" - she Clooks at him Gfunny,
He says "I didn't Gmean that," she Dsays it's Gokay,
And then she Gsmiles, and they both Cstart Glaughing,
That's when he Gknows it's his Clucky Gday.
Jesus Gshaves, Csmiling in the Gmirror,
Magdelena is Gsaying that they Dgotta Ghurry,
They'll be late for Gwork, and the Cschool bus is Gcoming,
But their daughter likes Gwatching as CJesus Gshaves.
DBlessed are the Dones who Cmake Gpeace,
DBlessed are the Dones who Cscrape Gby,
DBlessed are the Dones living Choly Glives,
And Chere's to the Drest of us who Gtry.
CHere's to the Drest of us who Gtry.
