Our Father
Who art in Heaven
Eh

The other day a friend of mine
Said, he said, that god's not even with us
He said that God is really dead
He said, Oh pal, a fact's a fact
You can't believe that magic act
I said I don't, and that was that
I said

Good for God
Good for God

He goes and makes the planet blue
And all the thanks he gets from you
Is look at all that poo-poo in the yard

Good for God
That fella's life is very hard
He knows each time a sparrow falls
Believing he answers all his calls

Good for God
Good for God

I bet he's got a very hard job
I'm awfully glad I'm here to say
He made it possible for me to be here to say
Good for God

Instrumental
Good for God
Good Lord
Good God Almighty

He got no mama
He got no papa

Good for God

Now, the other day another friend of mine said
He said the sun is going yellow
Pretty soon we'll all be dead
I said my friend what do you mean?
You must be living in a museum
And things are never as they seem

Good for God
Good for God

Now if truth is truth
It's easy to know the truth
That's the truth, so help me God

Good for God
Good for God
Good for God

He's got a hard job
And before they put me in the hole
I pray to God I'll find a big loophole
Good for God

Say, good for God
The man drove the little girls wild
You know it's all right, he's on our side
It must be looking good for us, you know what I mean?
