- I was singing Hari Rama We will pray with those Egyptians
- With my friend the Dalai Lama Build pyramids to put our crypts in
- 'Til they dumped us in the slammer Cover subways with inscriptions,
- But that's good enough for me which is good enough for me.....!
-
- One-eyed Odin we will follow We will pray to Zarathustra
- And in fighting we will wallow And we'll pray just like we usta
- Till we wind up in Valhallow I'm a Zarathustra boosta!
- Which is good enough for me! And that's good enough for me!
-
- Hare Krishna gets a laugh on I'll arise at early mornin'
- When he sees me dressed in saffron When the Sun gives me the warnin'
- With my hair that's only half on That the Solar Age is dawnin'
- But that's good enough for me! And that's good enough for me!
-
- We will sing a verse for Eris Of Great Murphy much is spoken
- (Golden apples for the fairest!) For his Law shall not be broken
- Though she sometimes likes to scare us It's not pretty when he's woken
- But she's good enough for me! Things go wrong for you and me!
-
- We will sing for great Diana If your god of choice is Squat
- Who will teach of love and honor Well then trendy, man, you're not -
- But you really gotta wanna! But you'll get a parking spot!
- 'Cause she's tough enough for me! And that's good enough for me!
-
- We will venerate Bubastis Call Him God, or call him Allah
- 'Cause my cat walked up and ast us The priest will take your dollah
- (Now the cat box is DISASTROUS!) Easy living from -your- follah-
- But it's good enough for me! -wers, but sorry, -not- from me!
-
- I'll sing some songs to Lilith, Now Danae was sweet as flowers,
- Not so young, and not so girlish, She was into golden showers;
- and She's always PMS-ish, And that showed her Zeus' power
- but She's good enough for me! And that's good enough for me!
-
- And what about this Bacchus, Diana is a little spikey
- Who lives just to raise a ruckus? And she is a little dyke-ey
- Loosens women so they'll f*** us, You don't have to be a Psych-e
- Well, that's good enough for me! To know that's right for me!
-
- Lilith wears a lacy nightie That Bob Larson shrieks and hollers
- And She is a little flighty Fighting demons in his callers
- She will get you all excite-y Save his program: SEND YOUR DOLLARS!
- She's wet-dream enough for me! And that's good enough for me.
