Thread Name: Lyr Req: What a Friend We Have in Jesus (parodies)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Here's a fragment from "Go with God", or qwhatever it shouild be called, to which I do not remember all the words:

I went out to a football game, 'twas very strange to tell,
'Twas PEter and his Holy Crew against the gang from hell
...(line forgotten here)
ANd as they reached the end zone, the crowd began to roar:

Cho: Oh, go with God, go with God!
Jesus on the twelve-yard line, Peter's doin' mighty fine
Oh, go with God, go with God!
Jesus sock 'em, knock 'em rock 'em GO! GO! GO!

ANother sacrilege, which I recall from my seamy youth, went something like this in a slow bluesy rhythm:

Virgin Mary on a pile o' sticks
She said look out, boys, need a bad fix
Said look out, need a bad fix,
Can't find a needle use a Cruuuucifix!
We're gonna rock,
Around the Cross.
We're gonna rock,
Around the Cross
We gonna pass around the Communion wine,
Rock 'round the cross an' have a real fine time
We gonna rock...we gonna rock....

I leave the rest of the verses up to your obviosuloy fertile imaginations.

Regards,

A
