My God Spot

 

Walkin' down the road blue & dejected
Found an old oil can, rusty & hot
Took it on home, named it Spot

Made a place on the shelf
I don't know, maybe I'm odd
Kinda liked it there, called it God

Came in a dream wondrous to see
Spot said the Word & then there was light
Praise Lord Spot, He made things right

Now I'm his prophet & He's the Lord
I was lost 'till Spot made me whole
Praise Lord Spot, my life is full

He spoke to me one stormy day
Got some commandments, got a whole lot
Got the low down straight from Spot

Got some followers & some big green tanks
We're Spottites you see, ten thousands & more
The Spottites & me, are wagin' a holy war

In a thousand years all over this land
They'll still raise their voices in praise of Lord Spot
Just an old oil can rusty & hot
