Verse 2 was about "Magnetic Mary", who kept Plastic Jesus company on the
dashboard. >>

Okay, John dared me to post these, so here goes!

Here's the way that I remember Magnetic Mary:

"I don't care if it's dark and scary
Long as I've got magnetic Mary
Sittin' on the dashboard of my car.

I don't car if it rains or freezes,
Long as I've got my plastic Jesus
Sittin' on the dashboard of my car!"

When my brother came home from seminary, he taught me this one:

Five foot nine, eyes that shine,
He's the Jew from Palestine.
Has anybody seen my Lord?
He's real neat,
He's real cool,
He can walk on a swimming pool.
Has anybody seen my Lord?
If you run into
A bearded Jew with holes in his hands
Just follow him
And he'll take you
Right on through to the Promised Land!
Five foot nine, eyes that shine,
he's the Jew from Palestine.
Has anybody seen my Lord?

And then, to the tune (loosely) of Battle Hymn of the Republic:

Jesus does his banking at the Chase Manhattan Bank
Jesus does his banking at the Chase Manhattan Bank
Jesus does his banking at the Chase Manhattan Bank
Jesus saves!
Jesus saves!
Jesus saves!

But probably the cleverest religous satirical song I ever heard was Tom
Lehrer's Vatican Rag. Outrageously funny!
