Sophocleese: Johnny All-American – Liam Callaghan Here in the end zone, after the touch down I go to my knee with my football in hand And I thank God almighty for being a good sport And taking the time out to learn the game plan Chorus: All of the suffering, the sickness and sorrow All of the poverty, pathos and pain I'm glad God took time out from his busy schedule To help Johnny All-American win the big game Here on the podium of the country academy I stand in the spotlight my statuette in hand And I thank God almighty for having a good year And taking time out now to play in my band Here in my living room in front of the TV I sit with my lottery ticket and gin And I hope God is listening to my little prayer And will take some time out now to help me to win Well there's seven billion of us inhabit this planet And most live in hunger and squalor as well And if God's taking time out to win people ball games Then I'll buy my ticket and I'll go straight to hell.
