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!"

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!

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!
