Subject: ADD: Old Time Religion Verses
Mrr, you said you would like a few more verses of Old Time Religion - ever willing to oblige. Here's 667 of them. Regards, John

AFRICAN PAGANISM
We will hang out with Anansi I will visit with Nyame
He's the spider god we fancy The Ashanti god of all, hey
And he wears eight legged pants, He's I will bring him a salami
got enough legs there for me! And we'll both sit down to tea!
AGNOSTICS AND ATHEISTS
Lots of folks are into God Let us praise God for creation
And I've often thought it odd And he made more than one nation
Do they love Him for His bod'? Let's give Him a big ovation,
Or is it ideology? And then tell Him "Let us be!"
I don't care about Jehover It's the Fundie Right's solution
Soon his office term is over To put Christian absolution
I would sooner worship Rover In the U.S. Constitution
'Cause he's good enough for me! And that don't sit well with me!
I won't go into no temple I shall stay a firm agnostic
Not for Graham nor Miss Semple I can't do a double-crostic
No, not even for a "semple" I'm a fan of Barry Bostwick
It ain't good enough for me! And that's good enough for me!
If you think religion's awful But the True Religion's Science
And you've really had your craw full Where we place our great reliance
Just be sure your acts are lawful 'Cause it's laws don't take defiance
Or they'll -all- be after thee! So it's good enough for me!
We will go and worship Jesus We give thanks to Jerry Falwell
Yes we will, when Hades freezes If his Crusade we can't stall, well,
He is full of guilt and fleases Ship him one-way to Rabaul - well!
Which ain't good enough for me! that's not far enough for me!
Are you waiting for the Rapture? Whene'er I hear Jerry Falwell
Superstition's got you captured! Quite soon I don't feel at all well
You believe a lot of crap, sure Throw him down a sacrificial well
Isn't good enough for me! That'll be good enough for me!
There are those who worship no gods Madelyn Murray O'Hare hollers
For they think that there are low odds Let's get God from off our dollars
That the god-seers aren't drunk sods God is something I can't swaller
And they're good enough for me! 'Cause he's got more balls than me!
There are those that sing out "Amen" Are you waiting for the Rapture?
To a bastard Jewish shaman Go on, wait, and see if I care!
You know who, so I won't name him I'll go off and take a nap, sure
But it's good enough for me! Isn't good enough for me!
Call Him God, or call him Allah The very first of chiromancers
The priest will take your dollah Overdosed on mood-enhancers
Easy living from -your- follah- And found his palm had all the answers
-wers, but sorry, -not- from me! Which is good enough for me!
You can keep your Old Religion, Jehovah's fine transcendence
It's for suckers and for pigeons! And the Church's great resplendence
I don't buy it! Not a smidgen! Pushing guilt and co-dependence
I'm an atheist, you see! Ain't good enough for me!
AGNOSTIC/ATHEIST CHORUS: Gimme NO kind-a religion
Gimme NO kind-a religion
Gimme NO kind-a religion
It simply ain't for me!
ASATRU AND ODINISM
I hear Valkyries a-comin One-eyed Odin we will follow
In the air their song is comin And in fighting we will wallow
They forgot the words! They're hum min! Till we wind up in Valhallow
But they're good enough for me! Which is good enough for me!
We will drive up to Valhalla It was good enough for Odin
Riding Beetles, not Impalas Though the tremblin' got forbodin'
Singing "Deutschland Uber Alles" Then the giants finally strode in,
And that's good enough for me! But it's good enough for me!
It was good enough for Loki Shall we sing a verse for Thor,
It was good enough for Loki Though he leaves the maidens sore?
He thinks Thor's a little hokey They always come back for more,
And that's good enough for me! So he's good enough for me!
Shall we sing in praise of Loki, It was good for Thor and Odin
Though he left poor Midgard smokey It was good for Thor and Odin
Oh, his sense of humor's hokey, Grab an axe and get your woad on!
But he's good enough for me! and it's good enough for me!
All the Gods tore into Loki We will worship now with vigor
Saying Deicide is hokey! The goddess known as Frigga
And they threw him in the pokey! Tho there are some who don't dig her
And that's good enough for me! She is good enough for me!
Good old Thor's the god of thunder If you wanna worship Odin
Really helps us get our plunder You don't have to have a coat on
Tho his head's still truly dunder Grab a sword and slap some woad on
He is good enough for me! And that's good enough for me!
In the halls of Frey and Freya We will sing a verse for Loki
All the priestesses will lay ya He's the old Norse god of Chaos
If you're good enough, they'll pay ya Which is why this verse don't
And that's good enough for me! rhyme or scan or nothin'
But it's good enough for me...
Odin is a mighty thinker Give a hand to darlin' Freya
And he is a heavy drinker There's no need to ask her "May ya?"
With the girls he likes to tinker For a necklace she will lay ya!
So he's good enough for me! And that's good enough for me!
We will go and worship Loki We will go to Utgard Castle
He will tell a dirty jokie We'll watch Thor and Elli wrassle
And get locked up in the pokey Thor will have a lot of hassle
But that's good enough for me! But he's god enough for me!
We will go and worship Frigga It was good enough for Thor 'n'
And the men will be much bigga I can hear the thunder roarin'
And they won't have a hair-trigga Or maybe it's his snorin'!
And that's good enough for me! But it's good enough for me!
Do you know what brought Balder low We will all go worship Hoenir
His Achilles heel, mistletoe Who has ears that hear by sonar
His systems are no longer "Go" And a most impressive boner!
But he's good enough for me! And that's good enough for me!
We will raise our cups to Bragi It was good enough for Loki
And we'll drink until we're groggy Whose humor was okey-dokey
And the pretzels get all soggy He'd laugh and take a tokey
But that's good enough for me! And that's good enough for me!
We will ask a boon of Mimir We will walk upon ol' Bifrost
With the Northern Lights a-glimmer Tell ol' Heimdall that we're not lost
I would not mind being slimmer Ask Odin what the runes cost
Which is good enough for me! And hit Loki with a pie!
BRUJA
Let us sing for Brujaria We will watch a Bruja giggle
Though the blood's a lot less cleaner At a novice witch's wiggle
It's not Christian Santaria For you see, a Bruja's giggle
So it's good enough for me! Is a Brou-ha-ha to me!
BUDDHISM
We will all go to Nirvana Oh we all will follow Buddah
So be sure to mind your manners Oh we all will follow Buddah
Make a left turn at Savannah And we'll eat no food but Gouda
And we'll see the Promised Land! Which is Gouda-nuff for me!
It was good enough for Buddha, We will go and sing "Hosanna"
As a god he's kinda cute-a, To our good ol' pal, Gautama,
And he comes in brass or pewta' He will never flim or flam ya',
So he's good enough for me! And that's good enough for me!
No one wrote a verse for Buddah We will all go to Nirvana
Tho I think they really coulda We will all go to Nirvana
And I really think they shoulda Make a left turn at Urbana
'Cause he's good enough for me! And you'll see the Promised Land!
We will all follow Buddah We will venerate the Buddah
He's one really serene dude-a Comes in silver, brass and pewta'
But you have to beg for food-a He ain't quite the Lion of Judah
And that's good enough for me! But he's good enough for me!
We will sing for Yama-Dharma Maybe I should try ol' Buddah
At our revels on the farm-a We can share a little Gouda
Though it messes up our karma I hope he won't think it rude-a
It's good enough for me! Me to say he's not for me!
I am darn confused by Zen Clap one hand if you love the Buddha
It seems way beyond my ken It will put ya in the mood ta
Could you say it all again Set off for Nirvana
Somewhat clearer so I'll see? And that's good enough for me!
CARGO CULT & PACIFIC ISLANDS

CHRISTIAN
We will worship with the Fundies Say the Baptists, "We're the only

It was good for old Jehovah Let's all listen up to Jesus

Jerry Falwell thinks he's sav-ed Oh we'll all be Fundamental

But that's good enough for me! And that's good enough for me!
Tho J.C.'s into fish, too, Anytime that I start hearin'

We will keep on writing FOCUS You may code your CRTFORMs
Because Gerry came and woke us They're not dash-CRTFORMs
We will work our hocus-pocus Just wait for MAINTAIN & WINFORMs
And it's good enough for me. They'll be good enough for me.
It was good enough for Simon Fortran an, I remember the P-Eight-Fifty
Good enough for Simon Fortran, With 2K you've got to be thrifty
Good enough for Simon Fortran, But the Instruction set's quite nifty
And it's good enough for me. And it's good enough for me
You might think that I'm a yahoo, I am getting one of those work-
Hacking on my seven-oh-two, Stations that are known as PERQ
But it's good enough for Big Blue, Even though there's the odd quirk
And that's good enough for me. It's good enough for me
Now that wire-wrap we're routing We're 'puter hackers who speak jargon
Very soon we'll all be booting And may play chess with good old Sargon
Yeah Gimme that old time computing Have ya got yer mountain boots on?
It's good enough for me (We'll go climbing soon, you see!)
We will write our code in COBOL
DB2, FORTRAN, and SNOBOL
Wanna SPICE up that old low-ball?
They're all good enough for me!
DISCORDIANISM
Let us sing to old Discordia Of Great Murphy much is spoken
Cause it's sure she's never bored ya ya For his Law shall not be broken
And if she's good enough for ya It's not pretty when he's woken
Then she's good enough for me! Things go wrong for you and me!
If your rising sign is Aries If your god of choice is Squat
You'll be taken by the Fairies Well then trendy, man, you're not!
Meet the Buddah in Benares But you'll get a parking spot!
where he'll hit you with a pie! And that's good enough for me!
We will sing a verse for Eris Let us do our thing for Eris
(Golden apples for the fairest!) Goddess of the discord there is
Though she sometimes likes to scare us e us Apple's golden, it's not ferrous
But she's good enough for me! And that's good enough for me!
Let us praise the Holy Fool And the brave Illuminatti
For he's breaking all the rules Can hail Eris in a body
Holds you up to ridicule, Tho we think they're rather dotty
And that's good enough for me! They're good enough for me!
There are those who worship Eris It was good enough for Eris
There are those who worship Eris We'd love to have her near us
If you're one of them, you scare us s! Her apple is the fairest
So keep away from me! And she's good enough for me!
It was good for the goddess Eris We all know the goddess Eris
Who in anger would not spare us She had an apple for the fairest
Gave and apple for to snare us But we've got to learn to share, is
And that's good enough for me! That good enough for you?
We will praise the wily Trickster We will howl with ol' Coyote
Who of talents is a mixture Pee on bushes, eat peyote
And is famous as a prickster Then we'll roast ol' Mendes' Goatie
And that's good enough for me! And that's wild enough for me!
Say hosannas to "Bob" Dobbs
With space aliens he hobnobs
He's the patron saint of slobs
And that's good enough for me!
(THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR)
Oh, the dollar is our Saviour There are those who scream and holler
If we spend Her or we save Her And get hot under the collar
She controls all our behaviour For their god, Almighty Dollar,
There's not enough for me! Who is good enough for me!
Let us praise the Almighty Dollar Oh the Dollar is the True God
Let us praise the Almighty Dollar Not the Sun God or the Moon God
Tele-Evangelistic holler 'Cause it's my God and it's your God
And it's good enough for me! And that's God enough for me!
DRUIDS AND FAERIE
We will worship like the Druids, In Pwyll's hall you will be welcome
Drinking strange fermented fluids, But he's not at home too often
Running naked through the woo-ids, Spends all his time in Annwyfn
Coz that's good enough for me! And that's good enough for me!
I'll go get my golden sickle We will worship like Zen Druids
And I'll wear it where it tickles In their non-existant wooids
It ain't used for cuttin' pickles! Don't try to think, just dooid!
And it's good enough for me! And it's good enough for me!
We'll go riding with Arawn That old wondrous faerie, Morgan
In the dark before the dawn Could appreciate an organ
Wildest Hunt that we've been on! Just as long as it was workin'
But it's good enough for me! And that's good enough for me!
Now there was this wizard, Merlin, There's this Druid who is Jewish
Really kept the world a-twirlin' He is nice and sometimes foolish
'Til he got mixed up in girlin' "Oy vey! You don't -look- Druish!"
But he's good enough for me! "Let's define our terms," says he!
Wrap your sacrifice in wicker Oh the Welsh gods, -you- announce 'em
It will make the flames burn quicker er Asking my gods to renounce 'em
Tho the smell makes some folks sicker ker But our gods, I can't pronounce 'em
It's still good enough for me! Being tongue-tied's not for me!
When I hear the Ban-Sidhe wailing When the Morrigu are riding
Sure it sets my heart a-quailing And the fell Trollwives are striding
Death behind someone is trailing I'm sure going into hiding!
And I hope it isn't me! 'Cause that battle's not for me!
When the Wild Hunt fills the evening ng We will visit with the Sidhe
With a howling and a screaming And we'll drink until we're giddy
How the Lady's eyes are gleaming Leave behind G. Gordon Liddy
And that's where I wanna be! And that's good enough for me!
We will dance 'round with the Dus We will play with the Pookah
Tho he plays us fast and loose It will aspect as a hookah
He plays jokes on me and youse Or a haunted pressure-cookah
But he's good enough for me! But that's good enough for me!
If you like aggressive women Said the Sidhe to their new war-duke
Morrigan with tricks is brimmin' "You must quell Balor, that fierce gook;
Do you groove on S&M-in'? "Just remember -- USE THE FORCE, LUGH!
Then she's just the one for you! "You'll be good enough for us!"
