Shall I worship Zarathustra
just the way we use ta?
Be a Zarathustra Booster
What a thing to be!
Or maybe Aphrodite
Shes beautiful but flighty
and doesnt wear a nighty,
now theres a sight to see.
Or perhaps Ill choose Apollo
a decent god to follow
Id grovel and Id wallow
Brought low on bended knee.
Elohim or Yahweh?
Allah or the highway?
I think Ill just go my way.
Thats good enough for me.
Joseph Campbell said a friend of his started it.

Old Time Religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me.
We will pray with Aphrodite,
We will pray with Aphrodite,
She wears that see-through nightie,
And it's good enough for me.
We will pray with Zarathustra,
We'll pray just like we use ta,
I'm a Zarathustra booster,
And it's good enough for me.
We will pray with those Egyptians,
Build pyramids to put our crypts in,
Cover subways with inscriptions,
And it's good enough for me.
We will pray with those old druids,
They drink fermented fluids,
Waltzing naked though the woo-ids,
And it's good enough for me.
We do dances to bring water,
Prepare animals for slaughter,
Sacrifice our sons and daughters,
And it's good enough for me.
I'll arise at early morning,
When my Lord gives me the warning,
That the solar age is dawning,
And it's good enough for me
