Plastic Dieties
(to the tune of PLASTIC JESUS)
[verse a]
I don't care if it rains or freezes, long as I got my plastic Jesus
sittin' on the dashboard of my car;
I don't care if we crack up, cause he's held on by a suction cup
sittin' on the dashboard of my car.
[chorus]
Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus, sittin on the dashboard of my car;
Virgin Mary's pink and pleasant, Saint Joseph is phosphorescent,
sittin' on the dashboard of my car.
---------------------
[verse a]
Now, Don't you worry if the driver dozes, I gotta hundred-percent-kosher Moses,
Parting rush-hour traffic from my car;
If I should encounter a roadside bomb I'd just read the writings of Mohammad
Scribbled on the dashboard of my car. (Blessings Be Upon Him)
[verse b]
Oh, Ganesha, Rama, Vishnu, are chanting Hari Krishnu,
In a conga line 'cross the dashboard of my car,
If I rub the tummy of my little Buddha, he sings me a verse of Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah,
While meditatin' on the dashboard of my car.
[chorus]
Zoroaster, made of plaster,
Keep the forces of darkness from my car;
So shut your mouth and pass the bottle, 'cause I'm protected by Quetzalcoatl,
He's sacrificin' Montezuma on the hood of my car.
-------------------------
[verse a]
Oh, Don'tcha call no doctor if I bump my headie 'cause I got my little Mary Baker Eddy,
Healing me from the dashboard of my car;
My little Brigham Young can save our lives, or so say my six lovely wives,
Gigglin' in the back seat of my car.
[verse b]
John Calvin and John Wesley, Martin Luther and Elvis Presley,
Have all left the building 'cause they're sittin' in my car;
If you don't believe in Adam or Noah or Arks, you can pray to my light-up Karl Marx;
He's high-fivin' Lenin and Mao on the Dash of my car.
[chorus]
Dalai Lama, save me from trauma,
I gotta "Free Tibet" sticker on the back of my car;
If you think I'm speedin' I don't wanna hear it, just talk to my Father the one Great Spirit,
Hangin' from a dreamcatcher on the rearview of my car.
----------------
[verse a]
I gotta Breatharian and a Seminarian, a Unitarian and a Rastafarian,
All rollin' ganja on the dashboard of my car;
If you look real close you just might see a Voodoo doll doin' Santaria
Chasin' chickens 'cross the dashboard of my car.
[verse b]
Oh, I know I'm going to Hell, 'cause I gotta bobble-headed Be-el-
ze-bub, that's the Devil and he's ridin' in my car,
Now Koresh, and Manson, and old Jim Jones, have promised to steer me safely home,
We're sippin' Kool-Aid as we ride along in my car.
[break]
Oh, no, my breaks failed and I just crashed! My head pitched forward and it hit the dash--
Am I in Heaven? I see golden arcs afar...
No, it's just McDonald's I ain't dead at all, All them little statues musta cushioned my fall;
Thank the Lord -- and all them others -- that I had 'em all in my car...
[reprise verse b]
John Calvin and John Wesley, Martin Luther -- and even the King
Will keep me safe, and I know I'll go far;
I doesn't really matter who you call your Maker -- be you Shaker or Quaker or Tammy Faye Baker --
Get you a statue... on the dashboard.. of... your... CAR!
