Jumpin' Jazz Gods
Written for Hades' "Damn The Gods" competition
(To the tune of Judy Garland’s “Get Happy” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U-rBZREQMw )
Hey all you false gods, you know what’s comin’
There’s gonna be a price to pay.
Hey all you false gods, I’m happy, hummin’
This little tune I wrote today.
How ‘bout you, Allah, the god of Islam;
You fooled Mohammed and all his kin.
You said the virgins would keep them all warm,
But you danced them into sin.
And there’s a million gods of Hindu,
Polytheism, at its best.
Holy shit, I lost count—how ‘bout you?
Let’s leave ‘em all in Pandora’s chest.
Don’t forget Ba’al and the Queen of Heaven,
The biggest deities of Biblical times.
And before you can count to seven,
They’ll pass your children through the flaming bonfires.
So judgment is right on its course,
Your time is short and you know it won’t last.
And when the Lord comes on His white horse—
It’s Jesus and He’ll kick your ass.

I like this piece you've written MadameLavender, Well done sweetie and gd luck in the comp.!!!!!
Reminds me of a song parody I thought up years ago, tune The Beautiful South's 'Don't marry her' (though not as many verses as this):
"I am the Way, the Truth, the Life", that's what He'd say.
"You can't come to the Father any other way.
False prophets and false gods shall fall come judgement day.
Don't follow them, follow Me."
