| Well, I don’t care if it rains or freezes,
|
| Long as I have my plastic Jesus
|
| Riding on the dashboard of my car
|
| Through all trials and tribulations,
|
| We will travel every nation,
|
| With my plastic Jesus I’ll go far.
|
| Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
|
| Riding on the dashboard of my car
|
| Through all trials and tribulations,
|
| We will travel every nation,
|
| With my plastic Jesus I’ll go far.
|
| I don’t care if it rains or freezes
|
| As long as I’ve got my Plastic Jesus
|
| Glued to the dashboard of my car,
|
| You can buy Him phosphorescent
|
| Glows in the dark, He’s Pink and Pleasant,
|
| Take Him with you when you’re travelling far
|
| I don’t care if it’s dark or scary
|
| Long as I have magnetic Mary
|
| Ridin' on the dashboard of my car
|
| I feel I’m protected amply
|
| I’ve got the whole damn Holy Family
|
| Riding on the dashboard of my car
|
| You can buy a Sweet Madonna
|
| Dressed in rhinestones sitting on a
|
| Pedestal of abalone shell
|
| Goin' ninety, I’m not wary
|
| 'Cause I’ve got my Virgin Mary
|
| Guaranteeing I won’t go to Hell
|
| I don’t care if it bumps or jostles |
| Long as I got the Twelve Apostles
|
| Bolted to the dashboard of my car
|
| Don’t I have a pious mess
|
| Such a crowd of holiness
|
| Strung across the dashboard of my car
|
| No, I don’t care if it rains or freezes
|
| Long as I have my plastic Jesus
|
| Riding on the dashboard of my car
|
| But I think he’ll have to go
|
| His magnet ruins my radio
|
| And if we have a wreck he’ll leave a scar
|
| Riding through the thoroughfare
|
| With his nose up in the air
|
| A wreck may be ahead, but he don’t mind
|
| Trouble coming, he don’t see
|
| He just keeps his eyes on me
|
| And any other thing that lies behind
|
| Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus
|
| Riding on the dashboard of my car
|
| Though the sun shines on his back
|
| Makes him peel, chip, and crack
|
| A little patching keeps him up to par
|
| When pedestrians try to cross
|
| I let them know who’s boss
|
| I never blow my horn or give them warning
|
| I ride all over town
|
| Trying to run them down
|
| And it’s seldom that they live to see the morning
|
| Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus
|
| Riding on the dashboard of my car
|
| His halo fits just right |
| And I use it as a sight
|
| And they’ll scatter or they’ll splatter near and far
|
| When I’m in a traffic jam
|
| He don’t care if I say Damn
|
| I can let all sorts of curses roll
|
| Plastic Jesus doesn’t hear
|
| For he has a plastic ear
|
| The man who invented plastic saved my soul
|
| Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus
|
| Riding on the dashboard of my car
|
| Once his robe was snowy white
|
| Now it isn’t quite so bright
|
| Stained by the smoke of my cigar
|
| God made Christ a Holy Jew
|
| God made Him a Christian too
|
| Paradoxes populate my car
|
| Joseph beams with a feigned elan
|
| From the shaggy dash of my furlined van
|
| Famous cuckold in the master plan
|
| Naughty Mary, smug and smiling
|
| Jesus dainty and beguiling
|
| Knee-deep in the piling of my van
|
| His message clear by night or day
|
| My phosphorescent plastic Gay
|
| Simpering from the dashboard of my van
|
| When I’m goin' fornicatin
|
| I got my ceramic Satan
|
| Sinnin' on the dashboard of my Winnebago Motor Home
|
| The women know I’m on the level
|
| Ridin' on the dashboard of my Winnebago Motor Home
|
| Sneerin' from the dashboard of my Winnebago Motor Home |
| Leering from the dashboard of my van
|
| If I weave around at night
|
| And the police think I’m tight
|
| They’ll never find my bottle, though they ask
|
| Plastic Jesus shelters me
|
| For His head comes off, you see
|
| He’s hollow, and I use Him for a flask
|
| Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
|
| Riding on the dashboard of my car
|
| Ride with me and have a dram
|
| Of the blood of the Lamb
|
| Plastic Jesus is a holy bar |
